Domestic Carriers Cancel Flights over Bad Weather

Many flights were cancelled on Monday, January 4 and Tuesday, January 5 as a result of the inclement weather in many cities in the country.

According to sources, virtually all the airlines cancelled many domestic flights while passengers were stranded across the country.

Daily Trust gathered that Arik Air, Med-View, Dana Air, among others had to cancel flights due to poor visibility occasioned by the harmattan haze.

It would be recalled that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) had alerted airline operators especially pilots to take cognizance of the weather before flying.

Arik Air spokesman, Adebanji Ola promised to find out about the flight cancellation and get back to our correspondent.

However, Dana Air Communication Manager, Okwudili Kingsley confirmed that some flights were cancelled on (Monday) and Tuesday.

“We were also affected by the weather. I am aware some flights were cancelled yesterday (Monday) and even today (Tuesday)”, he said.
