Arik Air’s Joburg passengers stranded in Lagos (Photos)

Passengers who booked to fly Arik Air to Johannesburg on Sunday night are still waiting to leave Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos.

The flight was later rescheduled to depart at 12noon on Monday November 25th, but that too never came through. Passengers flared up demanding for a refund or cancellation of the flight. 

Although a member of staff of the Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria, Mr. B.C. Iwuchukwu, had promised that the flight would depart in hours’ time, there were rumors that the aircraft meant to carry the passengers was not in good condition and that engineers were battling to repair it.
