British Airways flights disrupted after grounding aircraft at Lagos airport
British Airways says one of its aircrafts developed technical issues and has been grounded at the Murtala International Airport, Ikeja.
The airline’s regional commercial manager, Nigeria and Ghana, Tutu Otuyalo, confirmed the development on Friday.
Otuyalo told journalists that the carrier had apologised to passengers for the development which caused flight disruption.
She said that the airline would cover the costs of accommodation and meals for affected passengers, adding the carrier would not put the flying public in danger by operating a faulty aircraft.
Otuyalo said that the majority of passengers had been accommodated on other flights, while the carrier’s team continued to work hard to book the remaining customers on a flight as soon as possible.

“We will cover accommodation and meal costs for the customers.
“We would never operate a flight unless it is safe to do so. Most of the affected passengers have been re-accommodated to other flights.
”We have been in contact with our customers to apologise for the delay in their flight caused by a technical issue with the aircraft,” she said.
Some of the affected passengers have been endorsed on available carriers such as Virgin Atlantic and Delta airlines.
Recall that British Airways flight number BA 74, which was scheduled to depart Lagos for Heathrow, London, at 10.50 p.m. on Wednesday, suffered a setback as the scheduled aircraft developed a technical problem.
The flight was rescheduled and later cancelled due to a technical problem.
