The United Arab Emirates has reversed its decision on slots given to Air Peace Airlines, as it conceded seven slots to the Nigerian carrier.
This was disclosed by a source, who prefers anonymity, in Air Peace on Tuesday. According to the source, the General Civil Aviation Authority had sent a letter dated December 13, 2021, to Air Peace, informing it of its latest decision.
What the source is saying He said, “It has also granted the Nigerian carrier the permit to fly directly to Dubai instead of Sharjah Airport.
Although the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not copied in breach of protocol, the Federal Government was said to have received the letter. “As at 7pm, the General Civil Aviation Authority of the UAE has written to Air Peace to come and take its slots. Unlike before, the UAE conceded seven slots to the Nigerian carrier. “Even though they did not follow the right diplomatic channel by writing the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs which will in turn inform the Aviation Minister, this is still a positive development.”
