File picture dated August 1, 2008 shows an Emirates Airline flight from Dubai landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. Dubai-based airline Emirates announced on September 8, 2008 that it is suspending flights using its lone Airbus A380 superjumbo until later this week while repairs are carried out.
Some of them are staying in hotels paid for by airlines that diverted flight to the neigbouring country, while others were left to fend for themselves by the airlines. It said: “BA075-We would like to sincerely apologise for the disruption to your journey to Lagos. Due to adverse weather at the airport, we were unable to safely land into Lagos Airport… If you wish to travel from Accra – London Heathrow, there are limited availability of seats to book on,” the email read.
Delta Air Lines was also reported to have taken its Lagos based passengers back to the US when it could not land in Lagos.The Harmattan haze reduced visibility below 800 meters minima, so airlines needed ILS to land but the Category 3 ILS, which enables aircraft to land at zero visibility was installed last year but the calibration was not completed so it could not be put in use.
The airlines, aviation agencies have lost huge revenues over delays, flight cancellation and flight diversion, situations that left passengers stranded at the airports.
Isokostar El-Rufai is warming up...can u believ that? Another dunce whose only pedigree is hate mongering & an over-inflated ego is warming up to be Prez in 2023. Welcome to the Fulfude Republic of Nigeria. ...a banana republic where brain is no longer needed to be President.
Isokostar All the liars that burnt ballot boxes so mediocre PMB will steal power are all acting surprised at these daily embarrassments he brings upon Nigeria. Una neva see anything. 'Next Level' to the pit toilet is here to stay. Get used to the new normal.
Buhari is not aware...lol
God this Cowntry don tire me 🤦♂️..... Bubu want make dem enter bus.... Ekenedilichukwu
MBuhari ...
God is punishing every soul that voted for this government, but it's affecting us that didn't vote him in...What A Shame..... Nothing is working.. People are trekking, dying, suffering, crying, everyday.... Just check the stats 📈... Everything Bad is high. While Good is low
When coming home with the kids, our plane hoover around for 15mins without visibility. The pilot diverted our flight to Benin Republic, their airport was well lite like board daylight, we waited till 7am. Our normal arrival was scheduled for 4am, Heathrow to Lagos. Who cursed us?
The idiot Sirika as usual has done 'wonderfully well' by apologising to airlines. That's APC competence alternative, apologies. Fools, they will first knowingly mess up hoping to apologize. They've even said it's a global issue. Ghana is not in globe at all.
Nigerians are no longer entering Emirate datzY. We now have Nigerian Air that is working. We don't need Emirate.... Says a Buharist struggling to survive in Ishubiri.... SpeakOutNaija
Praying🙏🙏🙏 that this is not true,,, God why now
qwuesting If only Govt takes stock how much its incompetence affects taxpayers plus other life-endangering odds they keep adding to the adrenaline sport called being a Nigerian; just imagine this despite our trillion naira budgets? The_Seeker76 CitizenPeper dunua EmodiMba HOAction
Where is the 🤡 called Sirika? In what universe does Ghana have instrument landing with an economy smaller than Eti Osa LG and we Nigeria don't? I know there is no bar with APC but naa you guys are doing the worst for our rep. So I will now travel first to Accra?
Disgraceful that we don't have a functional ILS.😏
So why didn't them bring them to portharcourt Why Ghana
Why would you install something and not complete its installation, who is the company that was given the job that made it half way and who is suppose to see that it’s finally working. Why we always have to deal with mismanagement all the time. See inconvenience this has caused
You have no president and a government, that’s the reason. Do u think any country can do this to a country that has president or government MaziNnamdiKanu
This isn’t Buhari’s fault, it’s the fault of the poor management of FAAN or whoever that’s spearheading affairs at MMA. You people have not disgraced us enough, everywhere we turn face Nigerians are besieged with calamity emanating from underperformers we asked to lead us 😞
Watu wale ujeuri wao.
AlexAgbo23 God help us
Is the weather in Nigeria bcoz of hamatime, not the equipment control
They should use bus and come back
Its someone's job to ensure that the Intrument Landing System is working at all times but in Nigeria, this person will be promoted for gross incompetence while the image of the country & the citizens suffer the global consequences of his incompetence
Is this not a NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT that at our international airport, landing equipment malfunctioned & not fixed ?
Our mediocrity is making us lose on all fronts.
Hmmmmm
My hubby has been stranded in Lagos for 3 days now🙁
