Emirates airline said flights to and from Nigeria will remain suspended until at least August 15.
The Dubai-based airline confirmed that customers who have been to or connected through Nigeria in the previous 14 days will not be permitted on any Emirates flights bound for Dubai.
Affected flight bookings have been cancelled, the airline said.
The airline also said that it was experiencing a "greater volume of calls than anticipated".
Emirati officials on Tuesday said UAE residents in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Nigeria and Uganda could apply to return.
Expats who were abroad when restrictions were imposed, largely because of the Delta variant outbreak in their home countries in April and May, scrambled to apply for permission from the UAE's ICA and GDRFA immigration authorities and catch the first flights home.

UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets
What is hepatitis?
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, which can lead to fibrosis (scarring), cirrhosis or liver cancer.
There are 5 main hepatitis viruses, referred to as types A, B, C, D and E.
Hepatitis C is mostly transmitted through exposure to infective blood. This can occur through blood transfusions, contaminated injections during medical procedures, and through injecting drugs. Sexual transmission is also possible, but is much less common.
People infected with hepatitis C experience few or no symptoms, meaning they can live with the virus for years without being diagnosed. This delay in treatment can increase the risk of significant liver damage.
There are an estimated 170 million carriers of Hepatitis C around the world.
The virus causes approximately 399,000 fatalities each year worldwide, according to WHO.
