Former Senator Shehu Sani has voiced his opinion on the return of Emirates Airline to Nigeria, questioning its importance as a result of existing local carriers like Air Peace.
In a recent statement posted on his official X account, Sani expressed doubt about the hype surrounding Emirates’ comeback.
“We have Air Peace; What’s so special about Emirates back to Nigeria?” Shehu Sani wrote.
Emirates Airline’s return to Nigerian skies has brought mixture of excitement and debate among industry stakeholders and the public.
The airline, known for its luxurious services and extensive global network, stopped operations in Nigeria due to operational challenges for some time now.
