There was a protest Sunday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe
International Airport Abuja (NAIA), Abuja on one of Arik Air's flights
scheduled for Ilorin, the capital of Kwara state. Protesting passengers
described the incident as one cancellation of flight schedule to Ilorin airport
too many.
One of the passengers, who preferred not to be identified,
while speaking to THISDAY on telephone, said he is angered because he has
waited for several hours at the airport only to face cancellation of flight by
Arik Air.
Sources at the airport said the travellers became infuriated
when the airline announced that its second flight to Ilorin had been cancelled.
One of the passengers said: “The only way to make our
position known is through this mild demonstration and mild protest to send the
right signal to the airline management and government.”
Arik spokesman Mr. Banji Ola, however explained that the
incident in which a domestic carrier veered off the runway Saturday prompted
the control tower to direct the carrier to cancel the flight.
