Post by: Time on Dec 05, 2013, 07:31 PM
( ABUJA, Nigeria) — Nigeria's Aviation Ministry says the international airport at the country's capital, Abuja, is closed with the runway blocked by a Saudi cargo plane. Hundreds of passengers are stranded. Domestic airlines Arik Air and Aero Contractors cancelled all Thursday flights to and from Abuja. The British Airways Web site shows a flight due to fly to London at 9 a.m. Thursday has been rescheduled for Friday morning. Aviation Ministry spokesman Joe Obi said a Boeing 747 cargo plane veered off at the maneuvering area of the runway and into a maintenance area after landing Wednesday night at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. Obi said in a statement Thursday that concerted efforts are being intensified to remove the obstructing aircraft so that flights can resume.(http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=world.time.com&blog=19871253&post=120636&subd=timeglobalspin&ref=&feed=1)
