The Federal Ministry of Aviation last night in Abuja diverted all flights scheduled to land at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport to Lagos and Portharcourt inorder to avoid another air disaster.
Although the minstry claimed the directive was due to its plan to carry out routine maintenance on the runway lights but it became obvious the directive became necessary due to an unexpected power failure that threw the runway into darkness. The generator at the airport was said to have been faulty. Besides, if it was a maiatanence directive, the ministry would have sent the signal early and not wait for flights to head to Abuja then turn the back.late this hour
Some of the airlines affected are; Lufthansa and Aero Contractors that were both diverted to Lagos.
