A passenger who confided in City Info revealed that on four different occasions he had been delayed more than eight hours while all the airline could offer was a flimsy excuse.
It is said to have become a natural occurrence to see passengers and officials of the airline engage in shouting brawls after many of the passengers would have been delayed for hours with the excuse that the plane is either experiencing faults or could not get fuel.
The airline is said not to only been faced with the challenges of providing adequate services to its passengers, it is claimed that the company is also fighting an internal crisis.
Sources revealed that the airline is still owing its staffers more than 3 months salary which explains why the staffers are mostly pained whenever a passenger insults them. Many of the pilots and cabin crews were said to have been threatening to dump the airline to find a better company in the same industry.
The Michael Arumemi-Ikhide led organisation is allegedly suffering from a structural organisation challenges as the man who is near retirement has put some of his children in key areas in the company which he designed to make them take full control immediately he retires. Some of the children who are Directors in the company were said to be the direct opposite of their father’s shrewdness, discipline and fairness.
There were tales of confrontation between the children and some officials of the airline who were sacked for not been able to identify and give VIP treatment to the ‘Chairman’s son’. The company which recently commenced its Lagos-Dubai flight still remains one of the hopes of air passengers in the country who wish it can adjust and improve on its services.
