4th Wave of Covid-19 : Emirates cancels flights to Ghana.

On Monday, December 27, 2021, Ghana officially entered its fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The country’s active cases now stand at 8,554.

“Emirates flight suspension from Accra to Dubai effective December 27, 2021 is now extended until further notice,” the airline said in its urgent broadcast sent to trade partners on Tuesday  December 28, 2021.

The airline,  however,  said  Dubai to Accra flights will, however, continue for passengers holding confirmed bookings and meeting the entry requirements for Accra.

The carriage of passengers to and from Abidjan has also been suspended.

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.
