At least I'm in LAX and not Lagos.
Ha ha, I'm not in Lagos either - but I AM stranded in Abuja, with 8 of colleagues. We were all due to fly home this weekend on BA and KLM.
Our aircraft are sitting on the tarmac at ABV.
What's to stop the airlines flying these planes to Spain or Portugal or Italy - or somewhere else in mainland Europe, or even in north Africa - from where we could continue our journey by surface transport?
It's not a flippant question - the airlines have a legal duty (though a very taxing and questionable ethical duty) to repatriate us. Wouldn't this be a good way of clearing the backlog so that normal operations can continue as soon as possible when a full service resumes?
