There was a mild drama in the aviation sector as a Nigerian airline left its passengers in surprise and distress after it reportedly ‘mistakenly’ landed in Asaba airport instead of Abuja where passengers had earlier booked.
An “X” user @dawisu who on his page called out the airline for carelessness and wasting the time of its customers said the flight left Lagos for Abuja only to land in Asaba as a result of a wrong flight plan handed to the pilot.
While showing an image of the passengers clearly infuriated, the X user mocked the airline for probably landing them in another state as the flight took off the second time.
“Nigeria my country. We departed Lagos about an hour ago to Abuja, and upon arrival, the cabin crew confidently announced that we’ve arrived Abuja, only for us to realize that we landed in Asaba. Apparently, our pilot was given wrong flight plan from Lagos 🤣🙆♂️.
“We are departing Asaba now, I pray we don’t land in Osogbo next! 🤣🙆♂️,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, the development has generated mixed reactions from Nigerians.
