An Emirates Airline plane: flights suspended to Nigeria, others from Monday

Nigeria, France, Germany flights would be suspended from March 23 until further notice, a company email said.

Flights to New York JFK and New Jersey’s Newark EWR would be suspended from March 24 until further notice, another company email said.

The airline did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
