Foreign airlines have begun normal flight operations to Lagos following harmattan haze that led to diversion and cancellation of flights for five days consecutively.
Among airlines that landed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos were British Airways’ flight 075 from London, Royal Air Maroc, Virgin Atlantic, Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines and Turkish Airlines from Istanbul.
Others were Arik Air from Dubai, ASKY, Allied Air, while virtually all the domestic airlines landed their planes in Lagos.
Domestic arrivals included Allied Air, Air Peace, Arik, Dana, Nest Oil, NAF, Azman, Max Air and Ibom Air.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Aviation in a statement by Director, Public Affairs, Dr. James Odaudu disclosed that the diversions and cancellations were as a result of highly inclement weather conditions that are not peculiar to Lagos or Nigeria, but a global phenomenon.
