Spanish And United Airlines Stop Flights To Nigeria As Economic Crisis Deepens

Two international airlines are pulling out of Nigeria as the country grapples with its worst economic crisis in decades.  Spanish airline Iberia cancelled all its flights last month and the US carrier United Airlines says it will suspend its daily service at the end of June.

The carriers say falling demand for flights and currency restrictions are behind their decisions.

This is the latest example of the economic crisis affecting Africa’s largest economy.

The plunge in global oil prices has cut Nigeria’s growth and led to a shortage of foreign currency reserves.
