There are indications that flights to northern parts of the country will be delayed or cancelled totally on November 20, 2021 as a result of poor weather conditions and low visibility. This follows the prediction by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency, NiMet, that there will be low weather visibility of below a thousand over some parts of the northern region on November 20, 2021. NiMet spokesperson, Muntari Yusuf Ibrahim said the value scale of significant visibility deterioration over the northern cities on the 20th as stated above would range from 2000-5000 metres with isolated cases of visibility below 1000 metres. "More attention is expected especially during the early morning period when horizontal visibility is mostly impaired. "The expected reduction in visibility may disrupt flight operations through cancellation and delay of flights; this is for the safety of air travellers."
