I am more interested in the Airline that would buy Jet-A1 fuel from black marketers..




Such an Airline should be shut down and grounded pending investigations..


Maybe they sell it to owners of smaller planes like Cessnas and Beechcrafts and other such light aircrafts.. I doubt a commercial jetliner would be fueled from jerrycans. I don't even think it's possible sef seeing as the fuel caps are under the wings of large planes.

Op those who involve in this shady deal seal of those products as kerosene. No airplane would take aviation fuel without the aid of a refueling equipment called a bowser.
They are just hungry people stealing to make ends meet. I don't think they are corrupt staff.

This story is not true. How can fuel from an aircraft be siphoned into jerry cans?

They may have been caught with the fuel, probably from the fuel truck, but from a plane? It is not true.

fuel cannot be siphoned from modern cars not to talk of plane.

They need counselling and some time behind bars to put things in the right perspective.

If there's a crooked way to steal something, Nigerians will find it. And regardless of whose life is at risk.

This is the height of greed and wickedness. They should be tried and if found guilty, the punishment should be great to serve as a deterrent to others in this silly business.

more than 90% of average Nigerians are always searching for a way to make extra income from any little position they find themselves no matter how small.

And we wonder why Africa has the reputation for most unsafe airline service in the world.. The maintainance is carried out like the politics of the place,careless and incompetent...
Airliners have crashed and all killed because the fuel ran out due to mscalculation of fuel loaded aboard... The same will eventually result when they proper fuel loaded aboard, is siphoned off in the shadows and the airline takes off only to stall in mid flight and too far from a safe runway landing....
People wonder why jungle justice is so harsh on theives as if theft will kill someone who is robbed.. There is truth in saying the theft of this fuel can lead to many lives lost...

True they should all have fuel guages, but when they know they filled the tanks and the gauge later shows some decrease, it can be confuseing and lead to assuming the guage is faulty and the fault would be dealt with at next service time..
Aircraft have gone down before due to miscalculated fuel load between metric system and american standard.. The faulty fuel guage was also another factor in the miscalculation...
They will siphon fuel today -and then tomorrow cut off pieces of sensors or remove piece of landing gear titanium to sell.. All those things can lead to catstrophe for paying customers..

Are Ngerians that dumb c? How can one fill the tank of a plane through jerry cans .
I want to belive what is stolen is meant to be as in cooking stones instead of the conventional kerosine as A1 burn well in stoves like kerosine and not worth beng pourd nto planes like okada motorcycles .

What?! shocked

I'm really not bothered about guys siphoning aviation fuel from a plane. What I'm curious to know is who they sell these jerrycans to.

Does it mean some airlines could actually just buy off jet fuel from any tout at the airport and use a funnel to pour it into a plane?

I would have expected a very stringent procurement procedure for things like jet fuel considering the dangers of running an aircraft with poor quality or adulterated fuel.

GOd help us in Nigeria!
My brother, it's totally baffling.
I'm glad the criminals were apprehended on time

The unfortunate thing is that they are airline staff who are supposed to be thorough professionals. What would push them into committing such a nefarious act ? undecided
