Emirates Airlines has permanently extended the original 48-hour restriction on flights from Accra to Dubai, according to myjoyonline.com.
“Emirates flight suspension from Accra to Dubai, effective December 27, 2021, has now been extended till further notice,” the airline announced in an urgent broadcast to trade partners on Tuesday, December 28, 2021.
The airline, however, stated that flights from Dubai to Accra will continue for clients who have confirmed reservations and fulfil the entrance requirements for Accra. Passenger carriage transport to and from Abidjan has also been halted.
According to AviationGhana sources, the flight suspension is due to an increase in the number of positive COVID-19 cases on outgoing aircraft from Accra and Abidjan landing in Dubai.
Ghana officially joined the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on Monday, December 27, 2021, with a record number of positive cases.
The number of active cases in the country has now reached 8,554.
