AON alerts travellers of flight disruptions due to aviation fuel scarcity
The Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) has alerted air travellers of possible disruptions in scheduled flights due to scarcity of aviation fuel, popularly called JET-A1.
In a statement signed by its spokesman, Professor Obiora Okonkwo, AON said Jet A1 scarcity started again in the past few days.
He said the scarcity will no doubt force airlines to reschedule flights leading to late operations and cancellations.
According to him, the unintended development is a pain on airline operators and a stain on the industry, especially at this time of mass movement of people for the Christmas and New Year festivities.
He assured that members of the AON will do their utmost to manage the situation and ensure safe flight operations while pleading with the understanding of the travelling public in the circumstance.
The AON also called on the concerned authorities including product importers and marketers to do their best to resolve this ugly situation so as to ease the stress it brings on the travelling public.
The body said it remains committed to doing all that is necessary to ensure seamless services and safe air travels in our dear country.
