Airlines to Nigerians: Expect flight rescheduling, cancellations

The Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) has alerted the flying public of impending disruptions to scheduled flight operations of airlines in the country.

AON spokesman, Obiora Okonkwo, in a statement titled ‘Impending Disruptions In Flight Operations’ issued on Monday, stated that the development is being forced on airlines by the growing scarcity of aviation fuel popular known as Jet-A1.

“The scarcity is impacting negatively on seamless conduct of air transport operations and would lead to flight rescheduling, and, or, cancellations.

“However, the association and its members are working very hard, and in alliance with product marketers, government and relevant stakeholders, to ensure availability and proper pricing of aviation fuel in the country.

“While pleading the understanding of the flying public in the face of this reality, we also promise to do all that is necessary, and within our powers, to restore normal flight schedules as soon as possible.”
