We picked up a bunch of stranded Aero passengers in Benin this morning, when their morning flight didn't show.
I heard that pilots haven't been paid for two months, and some / all expats were given a one-way ticket home, and told to take it or leave it. No verification of this, however.
Things do not look well for Aero.
For Nigerian Eagle.... In "Punch", it was reported today that a new MD was named for Aero; a guy from Kenya or Ethiopia, don't recall.
