The lingering scarcity of Jet A1, popularly called aviation fuel, on Monday disrupted flight operations at the Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 (MMA2) and the General Aviation Terminal of the airport in Lagos.
Some domestic airlines had to either re-schedule or cancel most of their flights following their inability to procure aviation fuel for their aircrafts.
The affected airlines included Aero Contractors, Dana, Azman, First Nation and Peace Airline.
Some passengers travelling to Abuja, Kano, Kaduna, Owerri, Yola and Enugu were left stranded, following the announcement of the cancellation of their flights.
The situation prompted some of the stranded passengers to rush to Arik Air counter to get fresh tickets as the airline was among the few that were having hitch-free operations.
