Emirates Airlines announced on Thursday that it will cease operations into Nigeria on September 1, 2022.
It stated that the suspension was necessary because it was unable to recover its funds from Nigeria.
International carriers operating in Nigeria have regularly complained about their inability to return funds back to their own countries.
They have raised this matter with representatives from the finance ministry and the Federal Ministry of Aviation on numerous occasions.
Due to the Central Bank of Nigeria's inability to make US dollars accessible for repatriation, frozen currency belonging to these airlines has risen to roughly $600 million.
