Angry air passengers protested against Max Air at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), Kano, on Saturday over the unexpected delay of their Lagos-bound flight.
It was learnt that the flight (VM1645), originally scheduled to depart at 1:00 pm, was postponed without prior notification, leaving passengers stranded for nearly five hours.
However, the lack of communication from the airline worsened the situation, leading to a tense atmosphere at the domestic wing.
Expressing the urgency of his trip, one of the passengers, Abubakar Muhammad, who spoke with Daily Trust, said he ought to be in Lagos for medical screening.
He said, “The delay has caused me a lot of pain.”
Another passenger, Yusuf Sani, expressed his distress over the recurrent delays.
He said: “Last time they also delayed us like this, why would a flight be delayed or rescheduled without proper notice?”
