In a statement issued on Monday, Nigeria’s domestic carrier, Aero
Contractors, has cancelled several flights in the last two days owing to
limited supply of JET A1, also known as aviation fuel, as some
passengers of the airline have been stranded, especially at the Murtala
Muhammed Airport in Lagos.
Simon Tumba, the company’s media consultant who signed the
statement, tendered apology to Aero customers, saying it was doing its
best to resolve the situation in no distant time.
"Aero wishes to apologise to its dearest customers over the
delay and cancellation of flight operations last night and this morning.
"We are experiencing fuel scarcity as our contract fuel
suppliers are unable to supply fuel to us, while the other suppliers are
unable to supply fuel to us due to scarcity of aviation fuel.
"We are taking appropriate measures to address this issue as
soon as possible by engaging other suppliers to ensure a smooth, safe
and secure flight operations for our customers," the statement read.
