Heard today from contact in Nigeria that airport closed for 2 hours because of transit of President's wife. Plane held for some time. Anyone else heard this and if true could commercial/diplomatic pressures have resulted in running out of fuel?
Back in 95/96 I was working in Lagos and frequently took domestic flights. It was not unusual to be held waiting on the tarmac before boarding to see if there was enough fuel for all the domestic flights. If a minister was travelling to Abuja that flight got priority! Aero Contractors flights to Warri always inspired confidence, can't say as much for the others..
