Several intending domestic passengers cancelled their trips on
Thursday, after news of the plane crash involving the remains of Dr.
Olusegun Agagu, filtered across the country.
At the domestic wings of the Lagos airport, hundreds of intending
passengers going to Abuja, Port Harcourt and other cities in the
country were forced to postpone their journey following the tragic
crash.
Airlines officials at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Terminal, Two; and
Terminal One (old domestic wing said some of the intending passengers
cancelled their tickets shortly after hearing the news on arrival at
the airport.
Others, they said, simply refused to show up at the check-in counters
for their flights.
An Aerocontractor Airlines official, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not allowed to speak on the matter said, "We
were surprised how most of our passengers came to the counters to
inform us that they had postponed their trips. When we asked them,
they said because of the crash involving Agagu's corpse."
"Apart from those who came to the airport, we also noticed that
majority of our passengers did not even turn up for the flights."
