Chaos At Jos Airport: Passengers Block Arik Air Flight From Taking Off by harbdulrasaq88(m): 8:31am On Mar 20, 2017
The Yakubu Gowon Airport, Heipang in Plateau State on Sunday was in a state of chaos as passengers prevented the takeoff of a flight.

According to reports, Arik Air sent a 70-passenger plane to convey over 140 passengers who booked tickets for Lagos.

A passenger said tickets were booked for Sunday 1pm to Lagos and they were surprised when Arik sent a plane that could only accommodate about 70 passengers.

The passenger said the small plane had landed at 1:15 pm but passengers who were not given boarding pass blocked the check-in, and insisted that no one would leave unless the airline was able to convey all the passengers.

By 3:43pm, the passengers reached an agreement to allow all those with connecting international flights, women and children and the elderly to board the first flight while others waited for another plane which they claimed Arik official assured them would take off from Kaduna to Jos.

How the mighty has fallen.
I smiled with pride when I saw Arik landing at JFK in 2014.
Just what went wrong? .

How life changes... The one time most adored is now the most detested and rejected airline in Nigeria.

Can't Nigeria have an Airline, is it we are too small, too corrupt to have an Airline, common Ethiopia has one, aside that listening to Ben Bruce interview about our airlines, where they pay 30% tax unlike 10- 20% they pay outside the country is ridiculous, that's why you see airlines leaving the country , majority can't pay salaries, some retrenching. Nigeria needs to reset, believe me nothing works here we only manage

Arik management is just wicked. Do they want to tell me they don't have a bigger plane to convey everyone there? Or just the typical Nigerian way of punishing its citizen.

I have no sympathy for the passengers. Who in his right senses flies Arik these days?

I have said it severally, book an Arik ticket for me for free and dash me money join, I would not go with them. Chances are that the flight might never take off before the business intended is closed, so why bother.

Poor services and poor customer relation are the bane of most businesses in this country. So those that might have urgent matters to attend to in their destination would be f_ed up.
