This is an act of incompetence from the BA
They should be sued for tgis
Since the visibility I. Lagos is not encouraging, what happened to Abuja airport, what happened to calabar, what happened to portharcourt, what happened to bayelsa?
If this is in their country they would have fined Nigeria 20billion just as they did with P&ID
British is the Origin of scam

SarkinYarki:


How do u improve visibility? The best thing to do is to fix the ILS in the airport and no claiming you will make weather better

So as a minister of aviation you don't know why Airlines choose to reroute to Ghana other than Abuja ..okay then let me list the reasons out for you .

1 .Kotoka Airport Ghana is closer to Lagos than Abuja and so will save the airline more fuel

2. The ILS service in Abuja airport is epileptic and obsolete CAT 1 while Kotoka has CAT 3b where an aircraft can land with even just 50 ft of visibility

3 .the cost of aviation fuel is cheaper and more accessible than Nigeria

4 Kotoka airport Ghana has better runway service than any airport in Nigeria

So Mr minister you can see why any reasonable crew will opt to reroute to Ghana than head to Abuja

emmanuelpopson:


there are limit's to that..don't say aircrafts doesn't land during winter? where the Sky's a bit whiter than now self. so the govt shd improve the airport facilities a except prices of things go up...imagine the cargo terminal ll empty in mmia kos no plane landed for the past 4days n nothing was done...

You are fond of making outlandish statements with a sole purpose in mind.

From CNN:

The airport is "in the process of replacing the old category 2 Instrument Landing Systems with the newly procured category 3 system that allows for the lowest visibility landing," said James Odaudu, director of public affairs for Nigeria's Ministry of Aviation.

Instrument Landing System (ILS) works as a signal navigation aid that guides pilots when landing in low visibility. Airport authorities in Lagos experienced difficulties replacing their old ILS with a new one, making it impossible for airplanes to land.

"Unfortunately, there was a malfunctioning of certain components, which, coupled with the unforeseen weather conditions, made landing at the airport difficult," Odaudu said in the statement.

After 5 years if Useless Buhari Lagos international airport doesn't have ILS glide scope guide in ..please what is Buhari doing as president

Dear Baba Lifeless,


You left 1500 Lagos-bound passengers stranded just because you want to look for trouble at the burial ceremony of Nnamdi Kanu's parents?

When will you change? Ehn! When? Is it until the rotten vulture meat barbecue business man call you a moronic drunkard before you'll come to your senses?


Shame!

BedLam:

This is still incompetence!

Queseda:
If you want to unravel why Nigeria is in such a terrible state, a visit to Nairaland is all you need to see reasons. Just imagine some dolts already abusing Buhari when it was clearly stated that bad weather is the reason.
I think most of these Nairaland anti-Buharists have a common sickness, it is called post-election trauma
Truly, many are mad, but few are roaming

They are filled my friend, almost every airline is using Abuja and very few are flying that, say Turkish and emirates and they can't give up their seats since it has to be double( Lagos bound passengers).

But then, I doubt the authenticity if this report because airlines have a policy of not taking you to another country other than your origin.

Commentor:


You may call it that but I also know the British Airways flight from London Heathrow to Cape Town scheduled for Monday night couldn't depart Heathrow due to weather.

I guess that's incompetence too.

First, privatise the current Airports and the build more international Airports to be operated by private enterprise.

The South West requires three more international Airport to serve Abeokuta, Akure, Ibadan and Ilorin.

I live on the border of London and I am 1hrs drive access to Heathrow, Luton, Gatwick (owned by a Nigerian led business), Stanstead, City Airport, Birmingham and London Oxford Airport.

Another illiterate on Nairaland .

BedLam:
So if it's a single airline then that is isolated, stop defending nonsense. Did other airlines cancel flights to Cape town on the same day as well? And "bad weather" is a wide range, so you have to tell us exactly what aspect of bad weather was their problem, and how long it persisted!
If there's is a pattern , then yes it's incompetence!
