TO say the country’s aviation sector, particularly its domestic airline business is in a bad shape may not be an exaggeration in view of the series of flight delays and cancellations. Owing to the menace of flight delays and cancellations, many travelers are being subjected to deeper frustrations by the domestic airlines as the excitement of air travels are gradually being eroded by the operational hiccups. The flight cancellations and delays being experienced by passengers according to key players may have been taken care of unnoticed with the availability of more aircraft in the fleet of the operators. Latest of such complaints came from the Chairman of United Nigeria Airlines, Chief Obiora Okonkwo, who lamented how scarcity of foreign exchange has been hindering the performances of the Nigerian airlines. Many passengers had in the past weeks lamented how their missions were derailed through flight cancellations or delays on getting to the airports.
