in London, asked to contribute for fuel
Over 190
Air Nigeria
passengers who arrived the Gatwick
Airport 8:30 on Friday morning to fly back
home were allegedly stranded at the
airport for about eight hours.
Local media report that the delay was due to the
lack of fuel to fly the aircraft to Lagos, thus the
passengers were asked to contribute extra £40
each for purchase of ‘Aviation Fuel.
The plane eventually left Gatwick airport at 4:30
pm and arrived Nigeria at about 12:30 today.
However, the passengers were asked come
back for their luggage. There are reports that the
passengers are planning to sue the airline
company and it’s chairman, Jimoh Ibrahim for
the delay and their yet-to-be released luggage.
Also, Air Nigeria will no longer fly from
tomorrow, September 10, will no longer fly for at
least a year.
