talktimi: see kettle calling the pot black. Ayangba na your name

Venchy:

What a shame agent of destruction, you guys should take a look at yourselves, you are all FAKE, talking absolute rubbish, coming to NL to potray what's BAD as good, all for money.

Your conscience will be telling you lots that all youvare saying is nothing but falsehood.

I'm majority of the people on this forum are well aware that you guys are not real, seeling your brothers and sisters for money and later blame the west.


Shame shame on you all, no pride and no dignity for other citizens.

taharqa: Kai!! Won't you just try to use dat white matter in yr cranial cavity, at least for once? So segmenting each airport to each budget yr for Runway Lighting Repairs cos of Fund constraints, is a sign of 'mediocrity'? Runway Lightings are not such a critical Safety Consideratn per se but a facility that gives the Airlines the opportunity to ferry passengers into d night so dat they are beta able to use all their spare capacity and mk more profit (as d Arik man so succiently explaind) as long as d particular airport hv more than enuf passengers that spill to the night; YET we know dat most of d 24 or so odd Airports we hv are not dat feasible FOR NOW. Shld d Govt hv appropiated SCARCE Aviation Budgetary votes to build Runway Lightings that are not really needed at d moment in SOME Airports, in order to so that CLOWNS like you wud not call dem 'mediocres'? Do you even hv any Sanity left anymore?? So which project shld d Aviation Min had SACRIFICED in order to build Runway Lightings in ALL d Airports, even for sm dat do not really need it for now? Shld they hv sacrified the Total Radar Coverage, Total VHF Comm System, Dopplar system, Cargo Terminals and warehouses, etc? B4 2011, NO domestic Airport had a functional Runway Lighting; by 2012, Lagos and a few odas had; by 2013, and according to yr source, at least 6 odas wud hv; by 2014, sm odas or maybe All that need it wud also hv- DAT IS THE PROGRESS (work in progress) THE ARIK MAN AND OTHER SANE AIRTRAVELLERS ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!..... I hv advicd b4 that you shld not allow yr HATRED for GEJ to mk you out as a DEMENTED Toool in public cos of a penchant of wanting to criticizing him at every chance even when you do not make ANY Sense. You seem to jettisond that advice at every turn.*smh*

Omo_Tier1: TO THE CLOWNS IN POWER WHO NEVER FAIL TO DISAPPOINT BY CHEERY PICKING WHAT FAVOURS THEM IN A NEWS ARTICLE AND REFUSE TO SHED LIGHT ON THE REVELATIONS .. let me help you!

By Chinedu Eze In spite of the passenger surge on domestic routes this Easter holiday, Arik Air has said that it was yet to operate to full capacity. Arik operates 120 flights daily and airlifts over 12,000 passengers daily.

The airline lamented that lack of airfield lighting at some of the nation’s airports made it inevitable that no airline can operate into such airports beyond 6:00 pm despite the fact that there were passengers travelling to such destinations. [size=14pt]Why are Nigeria Airports still without Airfield lighting in this day and age? I thought they said the airport renovation was total? [/size]

For instance, Arik said it increased its flights to Asaba airport from once a day to three times daily but its flights could not fly to Benin airport after 6:00 pm because for now it is a visual flight rule airport, which means that no aircraft can fly there in the night. Is this the same Benin Airport that the minister claim to have revamped yet Airliners cannot land in that airport beyond 6pm?


According to the airline, it is the same with the airports in Yola, Owerri, Kaduna, Enugu and Ilorin. The Acting Deputy Managing Director of Arik Air, Ado Sanusi, told THISDAY that the airline was operating at just 60 per cent of its capacity, noting that the airline was capable of doing about 240 but presently doing 120 daily flights. Sanusi said that the airline's planes are currently being underutilised because they operate average of seven hours daily instead of 11 hours. “The airline has the capacity to cope with demands of domestic air travellers. With adequate infrastructure at the nation's airports, Arik can deploy its full capacity. We have 23 functional aircraft,” Sanusi said.

Sanusi also said the industry had significantly improved in terms of infrastructural renewal at the airports after many years of neglect and expressed the hope that the remodelling programme would be extended to the airport runways, especially in the provision of airfield lighting. The acting deputy managing director noted that within two years under the present administration, many of the airports now wear new look and commended the Federal Government for the upgrade of the General Aviation Terminal of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, which is the main operational facility of the airline. “There are a lot of things to be done in the industry to make it better through a deliberate policy of government where the airlines can have operational environment that will enhance their provision of services because aviation is the catalyst of economic development of every nation, but this administration should be commended for what it has done so far,” Sanusi said. The Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, had recently assured that from this year till the end of 2014, all the airport runways would have airfield lighting and fully upgraded.

Perhaps you guys really need to understand that Nigerians are not as foolish as you lots think.... The fact that Arik Air can only utilize 60% of her capacity largely due to inadequate facilities at the local airports says alot about the much touted Airport remodeling. There is more to Aviation than using oil paint and tiles

talktimi: Ayangba are you a learner ? The fact that you're sad doesn't mean I should join your band wagon jor. I appreciate any improvement I see and I ask for MORE not like you sorry lot who whine and cry like the little babies you actually are, infact I'm beginning to believe you're actually paid to whine like bitc#es on nairaland sef.

PapaBrowne: But seriously, my take in all this is the Benin/Asaba angle. Benin, Asaba and Warri Airports are all about a maximum of 120km from each other yet after Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt they experience the largest flight frequencies in the country.

For Instance and this may surprise you: These three Airports record more passengers than the whole of Northern Nigeria and South West Nigeria combined. Leaves you wondering the true nature of Nigeria's geo-economic combinations.


To think that some blind critics felt the Asaba Airport was a nonviable joke.

Another thing: 12,000 passengers at an average ticket price of 20,000 Naira. A whooping 240 Million Naira daily sales!! Nigeria my country!

Venchy:

Like i said it's a shame that you and your cohort comes here and spread the Gospel of Devil, I clearly know what human being deserve and not this substandard infrastructures you lots are flogging.

Anybody that have the opportunity to travel abroad will have the real idea of what AIRPORT is like not our shamble international airports.

If you are well expose and have seen what International and local airports is like but comes on NL to make noise, it's clear enough that you and your OGA AT THE TOP are so cheap and also LACK CLASS as well as TYRANT who prefer to deceive their citizens.

In the country of Blind, a man with one eye is usually the king.

I am sure your OGA AT THE TOP knows what quality is but could not bring back their exposure to transform their Beloved country to the standard they see around the world but continue to STEAL AND SUCK NIGERIA DIE.
