Hundreds of airline passengers were stranded across the country over the weekend following scarcity of Aviation fuel known as Jet A1 which is affecting all airline operators, findings by Daily Trust have shown.
The development, it was learnt, started from last week after airline operators suspended their plan to shut down.
Dana Air was the first to cry out over the scarcity of Jet A1 which it said is affecting its operations.
“Unfortunately, we are again witnessing the scarcity of Jet A1 fuel across the airports in Nigeria, which has in some cases, caused recent flight delays,” said Sukh Mann, Dana Air Deputy CEO.
Daily Trust learnt that all airlines including Air Peace, Azman Air, Max Air, Dana Air, among others are being affected by the aviation fuel scarcity.
In addition, it was learnt that the product is being sold at N695 in airports like Yola, Adamawa; Maiduguri in Borno.
