Anger, anxiety, frustration and fatigue. Those are the words used to describe the atmosphere yesterday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe international airport Abuja, as Arik air passengers were delayed for a little above 6 hours right there in the airport departure section. According to reports, this is not the first time this is happening as On saturday 19th November 2011, Arik flight was delayed at heathrow airport for about 6 hours.

The reasons for the delay this time around was not disclosed as all members of staff of Arik air were unwilling to speak to our BTPpoliticsToday correspondent, however, it was later gathered that the affected flights included: Abuja-Kwara, Abuja-Warri,Abuja-Lagos.
BTPpoliticsToday also gathered that a fight broke out between the angry passsengers and members of staff of Arik air leading to destruction of properties before the manager came to salvage the situation.
