British Airways diverts flights to Abuja over ‘infrastructure issues’ at Lagos airport
by Aderemi Ojekunle
British Airways (BA) diverted its Lagos-bound flights to Abuja airport over ‘non-functional runway lights’ at the Lagos airport.

In a message sent to its passengers on Friday, BA said it was due to local ‘infrastructure issues’ in Lagos.

“BA075 Lagos – We’re very sorry your flight to Lagos had to divert to Abuja due to local infrastructure issues in Lagos. Your new estimated departure time is on 19th June at 12:00 local time, arriving into Lagos at around 13:30 local time,” a statement from BA to customers, reads

“Transport from the hotel will depart for the airport at 08:00 local time. Please continue to check ba.com/flight status.”

It was gathered that the runway lights of the international wing of the Lagos airport were bad, causing issues for flights inbound Lagos.

The development forced BA to redirect its flight to Abuja.

An official at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport told TheCable that the runway lights had been fixed.

“The lights had been fixed. Flights can now land,” she said.

My first time on a plane when such announcements were made was not a funny one. While the men where trying to ask questions, Mountain of Fire members began praying and firing.


I was like...fire Kwa when we are praying to land safely?

This is what I hate about this country. How could MMA be in this state! The economic Capital of Nigeria! What is the economic importance of Abuja that plane would have to land there. It's time we do something about this over centralized system of ours. I remembered the governor of Niger state lamenting that why would he have to get approval from Abuja to fix a bad road in his state. Why not grant concession to private managers to handle our airports?

Package 2 loading...

Make the Lagos Airport unattractive or cripple Flights...and direct them to Only Abuja and other designated zones.

This i believe is another subtle but effective way of putting the mouth of the suffersticated zombies in-check.

TINUBU will not use MM2 to Jakpa when they come for him this time...and all Land borders will be effectively monitored...UNA MUST LEARN BY FORCE!! wink wink wink wink wink wink


Zombies........ the Fulani Government is ready to BITE!!

There are two runways in Lagos, one has lights while the other doesn't.

I find this funny.

Nigéria is not just a serious country, a road that was bad in Japan was fixed under 24hrs, cause they know the danger involve, I know that light have been bad for more than a month, someone might have eaten the budget for the job.



People here value their pockets more than lifes.

And the most Igbo bashing on nl comes from the suffer-scated wing but I like that igbos on here are more mature and don't play tribalism.
