A faulty aircraft door on a British Airways flight from Abuja to London resulted in 58 passengers being denied boarding on Friday.
Director of Public Relations at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, Michael Achimugu, confirmed this, stating that safety concerns require some seats to remain vacant. Hotel accommodations were offered, and of the affected passengers, 28 chose to return home, while 30 accepted the hotel offer.
“Affected passengers can file for compensation. Arrangements are being made to airlift them tomorrow morning
“The first resort in situations like this is to locate the NCAA Consumer Protection Officers at the terminal, and they will ensure that your right to care is protected (if the airline delays),” Achimugu advised passengers.
