NASS Warns Nigerian Airlines Against Flight Delays, Cancellations by Kenog4real(m): 11:13pm On Feb 10, 2022
The Joint National Assembly Committee on Aviation on Thursday cautioned airline operators against delays and cancellations.

The committee gave the warning at a briefing after an oversight of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency office in Lagos.

Senator Smart Adeyemi, Chairman, Senate Committee on Aviation who led the team, noted that incessant flight delays and cancellations by airlines had become worrisome.

He said that the delays and cancellations were having adverse effects on people’s businesses and engagements.

Mr Adeyemi hinted that the National Assembly had consequently resolved to take proactive steps towards tackling the ugly trend.

“People are no longer sure that their flights will take-off as booked; people now wait for several hours due to delays.

“We shall meet with airline operators to look at the reason for this ugly development; we shall convey the feelings of the people to them,’’ he said.

Also speaking, Rep Nnolim Nnaji, Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Aviation, described the development as worrisome.

“Nigerians can no longer tolerate this unexplained delays and cancellations of flights by airlines,’’ he said.

Mr Nnaji said he had written to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority to complain about the ugly experience faced by air travellers.

“Sadly, nothing has been done till today, so we cannot continue to fold our arms and watch; something has to be done.

“It is wrong to delay or cancel flights without adequate compensation; there is the need to discuss all of these,’’ Mr Nnaji stressed.

Not too late Sha. The unnecessary flight delay in Nigeria has been going on for decades.

Some airlines are known for delaying all the time. E.g Aero Contractor

Trust me, they are not doing it for the majority... It's because it affects their mode of transportation.

This isn’t the work of NASS and NASS shouldn’t be earning the airlines!

This is the role of the regulators to enforce penalties but they are all hog-tied! The rules are actually there but the airline flout them and the regulators do not enforce them. The airline think that by regularly announcing the change in scheduled flight times, they do not have to compensate!

It's pathetic. The constant delays of flights departure time is troubling. Airlines are meant be ontime.
My flying time was delayed till 2.pm on Wednesday.
Nigeria needs to up their capacity.

Very annoying situation. Its no longer advisable to book flight on your appointment date because airpeace and co will disappoint you. I'm still waiting for the day I will fly on the exact time in my ticket. They must sha delay it by mins or hours. All you hear is sorry
Re: NASS Warns Nigerian Airlines Against Flight Delays, Cancellations by Omcd: 7:20am On Feb 11, 2022
Most annoying part is the nonchalant attitude of the airline staff. Like, "we've just ruined all your plans, but na so life be"

Communication is terrible
Compensation is non-existent

Nigeria is so so disorganized.
Imagine getting nothing when your flight is delayed or canceled and if you miss your flight, you're likely to pay 50 percent extra cost to reschedule for another day or the ticket is gone.
Nigeria which way?
I missed a flight to enugu around August last year because of "stay at home" on every Mondays, uptill this moment Airpeace never refunded me and it's a to and fro ticket.

NASS are toothless bull dog that cannot bite, in their korokoro DSTV/GOTV has jerked their prices of their different bouque instead of mandating them to introduce pay-per-view session.

Lawmakers are just talking. They know the problems and FG/FAAN bears 70% of the problem while the airlines bear 30% of it.
