There's serious fight happening at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja this night after Aero Contractors canceled a flight from Abuja to Lagos after a 3-hour delay. The flight was slated for 6pm this evening, but Aero contractors canceled it at 9:05pm. Immediately passengers heard the news, they mobbed airline staff, destroyed their printers and other properties. Aero staff, including luggage attendants ran for their dear lives.

Passengers say they are now stranded at the airport...that the airline didn't put them in a hotel or even give them a refund.

Hehehehehehe...
So 'agbero syndrome' no get class E dey everybody body No be only for garage/parks even airport dey experience gbege All you need do is press the right button

Eeyah! I feel for them. I'm on leave would have used my broom to transport as many as I can

theV0ice:
Aero are actually useless.

In February, I had to cough out an extra 13k to reschedule a 6.50am flight to 10:35am because I got to the airport at 6:25am instead of 6:10am. The flight eventually left at 7:10am. There was nothing I didn't tell them.....the guys refused to budge despite me reminding them of delaying me on an evening flight by over 2 hours in December 2014 without compensation or apology.

Violence is not the way to go though. I pity those injured and wish the matter can be channeled properly so they can be sanctioned appropriately.

Enough of taking passengers for granted.

NAIJA and madness. Isn't there a better way to convey their message? Must we spill blood easily, are we vampires? Smh

uglyBetty1:
I don't blame them. These airlines take people forr granted. The day airk delayed my 10.45am flight from Abuja to Enugu for over 5hrs without telling us anything. I was running to the counter every 30mins and none of them could tell us anything. Chai, after they brought one small plane. Thank God we got safely to our destination. This airline frustrate people.

I just hope that these things should be looked into.

Richy4:
This is just like fighting when you are putting on a suit.

Plane are not meant for this set of Nigerians that chose to fight at the airport. Once they got their ticket as an evidence that the boarded that plane, why would they think they will not be refunded. Fighting mentality has eaten deep into some people that they don't use their brains any more.

MaziOmenuko:


Those better ways have been tried in times past and it doesn't yield any result. All talks and the airline in question will still repeat the same nonsense without an apology.

Its hightime they are made to know that they are dealing with humans and not animals! Hopefully they will learn their lesson.

wandeks:
Why the fight? Jehovah intensionally wiped out a crash 2nyt. Give thanks in every situation be it 7hrs.

Empiree:
And you people want change yet you behave like animal?. Are airline staff responsible for fuel scarcity?. They are just workers for God's sake.

Imagine this incident occurred in Arab country, you would call them barbaric, slaves and all sorts of names. You people are not ready for change. Govt need tough law and lock your behind in jail until you learn. Actually, in Western world, flights are cancelled as well for this same reason even though it's rare. But I dont think they go crazy like this. If you beat up a staff, you are simply guilty.

I understand the frustration, conditions and all that but it doesn't give passengers a platform to beat up airline staff. Those involved should be locked up. They should simply protest peacefully against the airline and let the govt settlement their differences.

I really hope you get delayed and see how your patience stretches.....

eleko1:
I wonda ooo.Suppose the plane develop/get technical /mechanical fault Mid-air nkoh(May we not see evil)/are they gonna waka/treK home from the Airport due to fuel shortage?Niagra and impatient sha

Richy4:


My flight has been canceled due to bad weather. It is not a new thing for an air line to cancel an airplane. Yes I was frustrated but not enough to start destroying properties. Some people are simply crude.

Keneking:
Jonathan ....hope you can see the implications of incompetence of your government.

mystiqueDZ:
Due to bad weather....thank you!
Yes we know there is fuel scarcity.....But a kind word mellows a heart....ain't no way you would pacify to people using a cogent reason and they will go wild....

Richy4:


You and I knows that when someone is in a rush and he/ she got delayed. There's no kind word that is good enough to mellow a heart especially if you came from my part of the world called Nigeria.

tbaba1234:
No fuel anywhere.

InvertedHammer:

No!

This is the best approach.
Nigerians don't pay attention to word of mouth.
Break a couple of heads, you will get some result immediately.

I don't think the passengers became unruly all of a sudden. They must have been asking questions that were met with nonchalant responses before things degenerated to this level.

Maybe next time they should ignite the airplane.
