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.”
