There was confusion at the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) of the Murtala Muhammad International Airport (domestic) in Abuja on Friday morning when Arik Air passengers disrupted the operation of the airline over the cancellation of their flights.
It was gathered that scores of passengers of the airline who had their Owerri flight cancelled on Thursday stormed the Arik Air counter on Friday morning, insisting they must be airlifted to Owerri first before any other flight is operated for the day.
This led to rowdiness at the domestic airport (MM1) leaving passengers scheduled for morning flights stranded.
The angry passengers also complained that the airline refused to give them food or water.
The airline officials were however seen pacifying the angry passengers who insisted their cancelled flight must be operated before any other flight today.
