Airlines and the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos have lost over N170 million as a result of continued flight diversions to Accra (Ghana) and Cotonou (Benin Republic) as a result of low visibility.
For the past four days, British Airways, Air France, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, Delta Airlines and several others have been diverting their Lagos-bound flights to neighbouring countries because of the inability of pilots to view clearly to land.
