Emirates indefinitely suspends flights from Accra to Dubai
Emirates Airlines has indefinitely suspended flights from Ghana to the UAE.
The indefinite suspension follows an initial 48-hours ban of flights from Accra to Dubai.
“Emirates flight suspension from Accra to Dubai effective December 27, 2021, is now extended until further notice,” stated the airline in a communique sent to trade partners on Tuesday, December 28, 2021.

Also, the carriage of passengers to and from Abidjan has also been suspended by the airline.
The suspension of flights, AviationGhana sources say, is linked to the rising number of positive COVID-19 cases recorded on outbound flights arriving in Dubai from Accra and Abidjan.
On Monday, December 27, 2021, Ghana officially entered its fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a record number of positive cases recorded.
The country’s active cases now stands at 8,554.
