International Flights Diverted, Rescheduled As Lagos Airport Runway Lights Collapse

BA was forced to reschedule all its flight out of London to enable it to land at Lagos airport in the afternoon, instead of late evening.

The Director-General, NCAA, Capt Nuhu Musa, confirmed the development. He said the decision was taken for safety reason.

He however said that FAAN had fixed the lights but there was a need for the NCAA inspectors to check the lights before an approval could be given for the runway approach lights to be upgraded to Category Two.

Notice to Airmen, a notice to pilots and flying community about flight facilities, seen by our correspondent, showed that the landing approach system at the airport had been downgraded to Cat One.
