BA 777 in PMI yesterday

[justtakethecup]

Just wondering if anyone knows why there was a BA 777 ( G-YMML) in PMI yesterday afternoon? PMI isn't a normal destination for them so am just curious to know why it was there.

From the BA website, it looks BA82 ABV-LHR 5 Nov went to PMI, arriving at 1358 6 Nov, then departed for LHR at 1516.

Similar thing has happened to BA74 LOS-LHR 6 Nov, which has had a stop in PMI from 0432-0555 today 7 Nov, though that's a 744.

Dunno why, though.

Refueling due to fuel shortages in ABV i think....

No Jet A1 available in ABV (or the rest of Nigeria), apparently. ABV --> PMI was as far as they could get with the fuel tankered in.

I'd just like to say a big THANK YOU to all those who supplied information on the BA 777 that landed in PMI the other day.

It was a HUGE mystery but now I can sleep soundly once again.

Thanks to all you spotters :rolleyes: and let's see you all out there with your scanners and little ladders bright 'n early tomorrow again!!!

yeah, you always get the occasional stuck up ****** who thinks he owns the site, and no one should use it bar him. Sad life he leads

No matter, he is going to have 'rest' for a while. ;)
