Who is Emirates?

Emirates was founded in 1985 and is based at Dubai International Airport. It suspended all Nigerian flights in October 2022 over funds it could not take out of Nigeria, and returned to Lagos on 1 October 2024 with a daily Boeing 777-300ER (flights EK783 and EK784).

Its Lagos flights stopped briefly in early March 2026 during the Middle East airspace closures and resumed on 6 March 2026. Since January 2026 Emirates and Air Peace have an agreement that lets you travel on one ticket across both airlines, with bags checked through.
