Flair Aviation: Nigeria Impounds UK Aircraft Conducting Commercial Flights by Neictraema(op): 3:50pm On May 17, 2020
Nigeria has impounded an aircraft belonging to Flair Aviation, a United Kingdom company, after it was discovered to be conducting commercial flights to the country despite a ban on all flight operations due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

The company, according to Nigeria's Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, had been granted a waiver to carry out humanitarian operations but instead carried out commercial flights.

COVID-19. Flair Aviation, a UK company, was given approval for humanitarian operations but regrettably we caught them conducting commercial flights. This is callous! The craft is impounded, crew being interrogated. There shall be maximum penalty. Wrong time to try our resolve!

Please tell me angry who directed the pilot from the control tower? Who authorised it's landing at all? Who were the immigration officers who attended to the new arrivals? Who were the FAAN staff who were on "duty" at the airport

Which kain wahala be this with Nigeria

Truly I can't reply all mentions but God bless y'all
Insults have been forgiven and have been re-routed back to sender so they can have a feel of their comments, speak well so if you have to eat back your words they won't be gravel in your mouth

1 Timothy 5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
1 Timothy 5:2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

Enuff said, I read the thread and even the other thread that was also opened on the same issue that one of the mods closed.

The change of purpose of the landing and take off was also supervised.
Those who supervised the landing of the plane for humanitarian grounds were invariably the ones who would have supervised it's take off with passengers for commercial purposes.

The commercial purposes for which it "attempted" to carryout, where were the passengers to come from, board from and get checked at?

For example if they've closed GIGM, ABC or The Young, will you still see passengers hanging around with luggage at their terminals? What for? Why were they even passengers ready to go where ever in the airport in the first place? It's like seeing students wearing uniform walking into a school compound for what? Sight seeing?

As I blame Nigeria, I blame all those involved whether the British carrier or the British airport from whence it came from.

Mind you many people are using and have used humanitarian reasons to perpetuate crimes and do flaunt laws. I heard of a woman in my neighbourhood who was able to travel interstate because an FRSC official took her to cross the state border himself! So who should we blame here, just the woman?

Happy Sunday Nlders
Meanwhile who can tell me the movie this picture comes from? It's a trivia

What was the passenger manifest reading before the plane left the UK? This must be unprofessional of the airline.

It was allowed humanitarian flight.. So it was properly controlled.. It landed and was found to be commercial..

Pls try and read again. It was granted permission to fly humanitarian flights. It was later discovered that they were conducting commercial flight.

It was meant for humanitarian purpose to aid in the fight of the virus but instead, the purpose for it was diverted
Re: Flair Aviation: Nigeria Impounds UK Aircraft Conducting Commercial Flights by flyingpig:
See the minister shaking his body vigorously.

If not that a very good friend of his died due to complications arising as a result of covid-19 disease, he wouldn't have been too bothered, just a bribe and ALL would have been settled. grin
