Emirates Airlines opens their stand at new Airport Terminal in Abuja

The newly remodeled Abuja Airport, The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, has become available for occupation by the flight operators in the Airport. The only thing is that only a few of the international flight operators have started occupying the facility provided by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) for their use.

However, Naijauto has found that the Middle East mega flight operator, Emirates Airline, has joined the other international flight operators to commence its operation from their stand in the new facility.
