They can distort travel plan ehnnn

As an aviator, I can bet it was a safety measure. Perhaps weather, or other factors prompted the change in flight plan

goldcoinhub:
A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to call out a Nigerian airline she accused of dropping it  passengers halfway through flight.

The lady identified as @iamvic3 on twitter alleged that AeroContractors took them on a flight from Abuja to Warri, but ended the flight at Benin Airport, before hiring a car to take them on the rest of the journey by road.

She wrote:

Imagine paying for flight from Abuja to Warri only for AeroContractors to drop you at Benin airport then put you in a car to Warri  Nigeria my country.

But while reacting to the post, a certain commentator mentioned that it is not a new occurrence as he has experienced such too, and it even happened in a developed country. Though he was eventually compensated.

It is a firefighting simulator for aerodrome fire fighters. It will prepare them for several scenarios in the event of an aircraft incident/ accident. before now, fire fighters travel to Cameroon to use their simulator and it costs the nation a lot. Having our own is laudable and a good step forward.
