Chinedu Eze
Egypt Air Lagos-Cairo flight was disrupted on Tuesday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos by passengers totaling about 219 who were earlier brought into the country without their checked in luggage.
Majority of the passengers who arrived Lagos on May 19, 2026 did not get their checked in luggage one week after their arrival; so, they blocked the airline from checking in passengers scheduled to leave to Cairo, Egypt, insisting that their luggage must be delivered before they would allow the airline to check in new passengers.
They stiffly stood against the check-in process and when the ground staff of the airline wanted to address them, they refused to listen to them, insisting that the General Manager of the airline must come and address them.
