Niger Air Space Closure Fall Out: British Airways Forced On 10-Hour ‘Flight by SeeThisLoser: 10:15am On Aug 07, 2023 |
British Airways passengers on an Airbus A380 from Johannesburg to London Heathrow went on a 10-hour “flight to nowhere” when Niger’s airspace was suddenly closed late on Sunday night. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/lifestyle/travel/british-airways-forced-to-do-10-hour-flight-to-nowhere-as-niger-suddenly-closes-airspace/ar-AA1eTlmh 7 Likes 4 Shares

Last I checked the airspace is closed to flights below FL270. Can Niger even police their airspace ? Do they have total radar coverage or the resources to enforce a total airspace lockdown? They've only two rusty SU-25s and zero SAMs. The junta is a joke. 111 Likes 8 Shares |

Passengers travelling out of Abuja to Europe and North America should expect increase in Cost of Ticket as well as increase in travel time . Lets hope Mali ,Burkina faso and Gambia does not enforce no fly zone .it will be catastrophe for Airlines and their passengers travelling out of Nigeria . No Airline in the world will fly over active conflict zone or when Countries declares no flight zone . Example of Malaysian airline MH 17 shot done over ukraine and subsequent bankruptcy of Malaysian airline made all the airlines of the world to avoid global hot spots . Airlines have totally avoided Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen for many years . 55 Likes 5 Shares |

APC2: The only reason commercial flights will avoid the airspace because no insurance company will cover them if they route through Niger airspace. 13 Likes 1 Share |

On Saturday, the African Union (AU) gave the soldiers 15 days to return to their barracks and restore civil rule in the country. Niger will also be suspended from all financial assistance and transactions with financial institutions within ECOWAS. Peace is all we want in our world. God bless AFRICA......from all of us @MANNA! GOD BLESS NIGERIA 🇳🇬 9 Likes 3 Shares |
