JUST IN: Passengers block Abuja airport over flight delays

Some furious passengers, whose flights have been delayed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, have taken action to protest against the ill-treatment.

According to Premium Times, the passengers have been at the airport since Sunday night to catch flights to different destinations.

As of 8:36 am passengers of Arik airline due for take-off at 7 pm on Sunday were still at the terminal “without explanation from the flight workers or officials”.

“They already had delayed it from 7 to 9pm yesterday. From 9:45 yesterday till now,” a passenger said.

The passengers were said to have had an uncomfortable night at the airport as chairs within the airport served as mattresses for many of them.

As a result, they blocked the entrance gate of the airport on Monday morning to express their anger.

TheCable had reported how Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) announced the shutting of flight operations across the country.

But the association later suspended its decision.
