365Daily – The Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) have announced to the general public of an impending disruptions in flight schedule occasioned by scarcity of aviation fuel known as JET-A1.
In a release made available to 365Daily by its spokesman, Prof. Obiora Okonkwo on Tuesday, December 20, 2022, AON said they have done their best to remedy the situation, but it has gone beyond their control.
According to the release, “The Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) wish to inform the general public of impending disruptions in scheduled flight operations due to the scarcity of aviation fuel, otherwise known as JET-A1, which reared its ugly head again in the past few days.
“The scarcity will no doubt force airlines to reschedule flights leading to late operations and, or, cancellations”.
AON said this 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.
“While we do our utmost best to manage the situation and ensure safe flight operations, we plead the understanding of the traveling public in the circumstance.
“We also call 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.
“As Airline Operators, we remain committed to doing all that is necessary to ensure seamless services and safe air travels in our dear country”.
