Flights between Lagos, Nigeria, and Tel Aviv, Israel’s capital have continued without disruption despite the precarious security situation in Israel because of the ongoing conflict with the Palestinian terror group, Hamas.
Pilot News learned that Ethiopian Airlines and Qatar Airways, two primary carriers connecting Nigeria to Israel, have maintained their flight schedules from Nigeria to Tel Aviv airport.
The President of the National Association of Nigeria Travel Agencies, Susan Akporiaye, said people were still traveling to Israel for various reasons, and as long as the borders remained open, Nigeria–Tel Aviv flights would not be disrupted.
“People still go to where they want to go and do what they want to do where there are no problems and come back. That is why there has been no announcement of flight cancellations to Israel,” she said.
“It is only when it gets to the extent that all their borders are closed that they cancel flights. If their border is not closed, flights will still go.”
She, however, said there may be a reduction in flight frequencies due to passenger reservations about traveling to crisis-affected areas.
In her words, “The only thing that would happen is that they may reduce frequency because people will have reservations about traveling. If this happens, traffic will reduce and airlines will reduce frequencies.”
