Siena: This is a National Disgrace for Nigeria. Reminds me of the old days, when you boarded a taxi cab, and were told to get out to push, when it broke down, yet still be expected to pay the full fare.

This however, is much worse. I've never used a Nigerian airline, and never will. There was a time I was considering using Arik Air, but after reading this, that's not happening. An airline that can't manage their fuelling bills, wouldn't be bothered to pay for much needed maintenance. Talk about running an airline on a shoestring!

slimyem: anything Jimoh Ibrahim toches turns to ashes..
Waiting to see what'll become of NICON in the near future..

Sun of god: My uncle once told me - 'When it comes to flying, never use a 'Black' Airline!

I thought it was a messed up statement at the time but have come to see the wisdom behind what he said.

My advise to Nigerians flying abroad - Use an oyibo airline like Air France, British Airways, Lufthansa, etc.

PeeDaVinci: really bad but this has happened in some other places too

claremont: The only Nigerian airline I have ever used to travel is Arik Air, that trip was a nightmare. The way and manner I was treated whilst on a trip from Lagos to London has completely put me off travelling with Nigerian airlines. All I wanted was a continuous supply of their red wine; they not only refused after giving me just one bottle, if you see the bad eye wey their hostesses come dey use dey look me mehn, if looks could kill, their look for pieces me dat day. I totally recommend KLM Royal Dutch Airlines for everyone, you get unlimited free booze and sweet-looking hostesses.

occam:

Sad but he's uncle is right. Nigeria airways, Arik etc are garbage. you'll always regret flying with those glorified molues
