Angry passengers block boarding gate of Airport over flight delay

Some angry passengers on Monday blocked the boarding gate of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja following a delay in their flights.   According to TheNewsGuru.com, the passengers have been at the airport since Sunday night to catch flights to different destinations.   As of 8:36 am passengers of Arik airline due for take-off at 7 pm on Sunday were still at the terminal ”without explanation from the flight workers or officials”.   “They already had delayed it from 7 to 9pm yesterday. From 9:45 yesterday till now,” a passenger said.   The passengers were said to have had an uncomfortable night at the airport as chairs within the airport served as mattresses for many of them.   Recall that Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) had announced the shutting of flight operations across the country.   But the association later suspended its decision.
