This is bullshít, if it's true.

Na today we don dey stand inside plane? Just take it from me that it happened way back 1991...Kaduna to Kano. (3 stood by the toilet including a Air hostess on leave, then sat on the floor when the plane was about to land)
On the same flight, a former military governor of a northern state sat with 2 of his aides on 2 seats meaning 3 of them shared 2 seats

Nawaoo 4us in dis country, Na only Nigeria plane dey tek attachment...

This is the kind of transformation PDP tells Nigerians that Jonathan has brought in the aviation industry. Who cleared that flight to take off ?

What noncensence!even my Pastor's wife and 2mnths baby we're kept waiting at the sokoto airport from 11am till midnight yesterday before they could board..someone need tto sue them to paay dameges.

Even if them wan carry me for free, I will never stand in a plane and to think that it is Arik that did this is mind boggling! Where are all these people running to? Is it to avoid election violence? Mehn this is disturbing!

Are there no regulators, what is this? They should be sanctioned. God forbid, if anything should happen to this plane, casualties will be overwhelming, all because of management's greed.

this is a delta airline overbooked flight; not unique to Nigeria..werrey people

This is why Nigerians will be taken for granted by all their service providers!! What nonsense?! It aint even funny.. and the ones sitting are so comfortable sitting on that risk?God bless Nigérian indeed!

I want an update on this.

This plane should never get off the ground if this is true.

Pls don't mind all this olofofo bloggers,those are people that are just getting into the plane,as usual hussling to keep their hand luggages at any space available.

These are travelers going to their respective seats!

Arik is a useless airline!! They cancel flights without regards to anyone!! The last time I booked for Abuja to Enugu with just a stop in Lagos, I got Abuja-Lagos_Calabar-Enugu! I was furious!! Left abuja at 1, got to Enugu at 6pm.

mario147:


The plane can never fly with people standing like this in it,I guess those standing are trying to locate their seat.

Thank you jare. These half - literate goons on Nairaland never use their common sense. Most have never even been near an aircraft before sha.

This aint true. This re ppl who want to get off the plane early after laanding, its common on locaal flights for ppl to get off theeeeir seats while the plane taxi to a stop.

Burger01:
Passengers should have protested and disembarked. What height of indiscipline and corruption is this? This is one of the reasons we need change in this country. To me, Arik air should be fined.

Am telling you!serious protest!See the ones with seats...how relaxed they are.

*singing* "49 sitting 99 standing when Fela sing am i think say na only molue e sing am for ooo e don reach plane too

With the luggage compartment still open and cabin lights still on, this plane is still on d ground when this pics were taken. It's obvious that this is still boarding process. Linda dey carry fake news.

So because it happened in DA, it is justifiable for it to happen here abi, we as a nation is aversed to good things that happens in other countries

anything can happen in my dearest country naija..

But let's take a good look at it , arik air is not to blame for this, d passengers is to blame because they don't love their live. if they refuse to enter d plane since it is filled up, I don't think they will force them to enter.
as for me, I would never do such a thing because I love my precious life. Nigerians pls let's think before we do anything , we ar d cause of our problems, we should stop blaming others for our misfortunes.

dats my own one kobo advice..

i do not know while some reporters give the opposite side of the story just to sell.haba. those passengers are locating their seats. there is no airline no matter the situation that can fly while people are standing. it is impossible and peopple are buying the story hook line and sinker. take another good look at the picture u will understand better.

Buh wiv d pix, its still hard to blive, wen d plane slants wat happens to those standing..

Hope this is not election ritual about to happen..

I agree Arik is a useless company due to their poor services but @Op, you can lie oh! How can persanger stand inside plane? Maybe Op snap that pix when poeple were heading to their respective sit! And claim they were standing.

This is outrageous!!! Standing in a plane?!!!
