The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, NAN, has issued a travel advisory following ongoing airspace closures in parts of the Middle-East affecting flights to and from the region.
FAAN management released the advisory in a statement to journalists on Saturday in Lagos.
“As a result of these developments, flights scheduled to Middle-East destinations from Nigerian airports, including Emirates and Qatar Airways, have been cancelled or delayed.
“Passengers affected by these disruptions are strongly advised to contact their respective airlines directly for up-to-date information on flight status, rebooking options and further guidance.
“FAAN continues to monitor the situation in collaboration with relevant aviation authorities and airline operators and will provide updates as necessary,” it stated.
The authority expressed regret over the inconvenience and thanked travellers for their understanding and cooperation.
The General Civil Aviation Authority earlier announced a temporary partial closure of the United Arab Emirates airspace.
Regional reports said the move was a precautionary step to safeguard the UAE’s territory amid challenging security developments.
The exceptional measure was taken to ensure the safety of flights, passengers and aircrew across the UAE.
