=====================================
Many flights were cancelled over the week owing to what was described as 'bad weather' condition in many cities in the country.
Rostrum gathered that virtually all the airlines cancelled all domestic flights while passengers were stranded across the country.
Rostrum further learned that Arik Air, Med-View, and Dana Air, among others, had to cancel flights due to poor visibility occasioned by the harmattan haze.
It would be recalled that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) had earlier in the week alerted airline operators especially pilots to take cognizance of the weather before flying.
The Arik Air spokesman, Mr. Adebanji Ola promised to ascertain about the flight cancellation and get back to the people concerned.
However, Dana Air Communication Manager, Mr. Okwudili Kingsley confirmed that some flights were cancelled between Monday and Thursday.
"We were also affected by the weather. I am aware some flights were cancelled on Monday and even the days after", he said.
Experts opined that the trend, which started last year may continue for sometime until the weather improves.
