Dubai has suspended all inbound and transit passenger flights to the emirate of Dubai from any point in for 48 hours effective from December 20.
A statement by Emirates Airline says the suspension was in line with a directive from the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA)
"Customers will not be accepted for travel on Emirates flights at Nairobi during this time," the airline said on Monday.
"Outbound passenger operations from Dubai to Nairobi remain unaffected."
Passengers affected by the suspension will not be required to call the airlines immediately but instead have been advised to hold on to their tickets and redeem them when the suspension is lifted.
"Customers can simply hold on to their Emirates ticket and when flights resume, get in touch with their travel agent or booking office to make new travel plans," the statement added.
Though its not clear the reason behind the suspension,the move comes at the back drop of cancellation of flights from other African countries following the detection of new Omicron variant.
