Flight Delays, Cancellations Worsen In Nigeria
The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has pleaded with passengers over inconveniences being experienced as a result of flight delays and cancellations in the last few days.
To this end the authority has directed airlines to provide timely reports of flight disruptions to keep the passengers abreast of the development.
The directive followed reports of worsening flight delays and cancellations across the country.
It was learnt that many passengers experienced hours of delays on the eve of the Christmas celebration
Some flights experienced disruption as a result of the harmattan dust which reduced visibility prompting some flights to be rescheduled.
The NCAA however stated that it “is aware of flight disruptions which have inconvenienced air passengers in the last couple of days and empathizes with all affected passengers for the inconveniences these disruptions may have caused.”
Director Public Affairs & Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu said the authority had “mandated all airlines to provide timely flight disruption information to passengers to enable them make informed decisions concerning their travels.”
