Murtala Mohammed International Aiport

Delayed or cancelled flights are twins of sorts associated with air transportation worldwide. It’s an experience that is never pleasant to both passengers and operators alike.

It is not peculiar to Nigeria, as no nation is immune from this menace that has long bedevilled global air navigation.

This is not an attempt to excuse the notoriety level it has attained in this part of the world. Instead, it is an effort to dissect it and possibly postulate on how to rise above this menace and make air transportation a pleasant experience in Nigeria.

It is important to point out that there is no option comparable to air transportation when it comes to travelling across the Atlantic or between continents. A journey across the Atlantic cannot be done by road, nor can it be done on a horse or camel. Talking of safety, fastness and comfort, no other mode of transport is comparable to flying. Yes, it may be more expensive than the others.
