Aviation Fuel Scarcity, Nigeria Airlines Cancel Flight!

HUNDREDS of air travellers were at the weekend,  stranded at various airports across the nation, owing to
scarcity of aviation fuel, otherwise known as JET A1.
The scarcity became noticeable Friday last week and has continued unabated. .
The situation made it impossible for airlines to get the commodity on time and when they eventually did, it was very expensive. Yesterday, at the two domestic airport terminals, passengers had a hectic time getting flights out of Lagos and into Lagos. .
Many flights were cancelled, leading to airlines doing combined flights to cushion cost of operations.
The Murtala Muhammed Airport 2(MMA2) was rowdy, as travellers sought to know which airline was going to their destinations. .
 For now, there seems to be no control over the spiraling cost of the commodity, as it continues to rise almost on a monthly basis because of deregulation in the aviation fuel industry. .
Currently, aviation fuel sells between N182 and N186 per litre, depending on place of purchase.
