There is no way a pilot will tell you that there is no fuel , no sane will take off without the right amount of fuel weight for the journey..i am sure madam didn't hear well

MajorJeffery:
The pilot must be high on Oshogbo weed for not doing a proper pre flight check to check the fuel if truly it was the cause.

Well, engine failure can also cause wrong reading in plane equipment and if that was the case, the pilot wouldn't have been able to know the actual amount of fuel in the tank so returning to airport is the best bet to avoid stories that touch.

You are intelligent and very sensible. Something very rare in people lately.

"Regulations for operations require fuel on board at takeoff to include: fuel to the destination, plus fuel to the most distant alternate, plus en route contingency based on a percentage of flight time, plus 30 minutes holding at 1,500 feet above the airport.”


Nigerians and their hyperactivity. Just blabbing rubbish. She must know much more than the Pilot.


The aircraft may have enough fuel to Owerri but what about if the weather conditions in Owerri is not favourable to landing and they have to roam in the air till the skies are clear? Or maybe in an emergency and they have to land in an alternate airport?

Also weather conditions like having strong headwinds would make a plane burn more fuel. Weather isn't something that is constant and he may just have realized such after take off.

Many people need to shut their mouth seriously. Too many ignorant people. The pilot did the right thing by returning to Lagos. There are hundreds of people who work for Air peace and demarketing them with lies is a big disservice to people who earn a living through such means. I wish companies start suing Nigerians that talk anyhow.

Hahahahaha......Hahahaha.....In a sane country, simple engine failure is a more acceptable excuse than no having enough fuel but in Nigeria it's the other way around.....It gets to a point all we can do is laugh and drink cold beer angry angry grin grin grin

Best reply so far. It is plausible for there to be less fuel than desired.

Though, my take on it is that in order to reduce panic among passengers, he told them something plausible, but not alarming. Can you imagine if the pilot said: "the engine is on fire, or has stopped working" or "I can't read the fuel gauge"? In this Nigeria? People will get out of their seats, all craning their necks to see the engine, some praying, some jumping, some crying, some come to bang on the cockpit door, and more than one idiot trying to open the fuselage door.

It's impossible for the plane to take off without adequate fuel. The pilot covered up something, simple. Maybe there was engine failure or possible fire outbreak on the engine side. The truth is,our local airplanes are being overused, not minding their age. Maybe that flight has done more than enough trips that day on different routes before finally taking off to owerri. I boarded aero conteactors to Lagos from Abuja last yr. About 30 minutes airborne, the plane went down suddenly, as if it was going to crash,after which he got its bearing right. Everyone was panicking. One guy in front of me held his friend seated by him on his shirt, with his head facing down. He couldn't lift up his face until our arrival and disembarkment in Lagos. I've never been so scared on my life.

JESUS CHRIST is the SON of GOD.HE loves us and died for us so that our sins will be forgiven. We must love HIM and think/read about HIM always. Salvation is only from HIM. We must love HIM by loving others and doing at least one good work in a day such as helping others, giving to the poor, saying sweet words to others, encouraging others, comforting others when they cry, praying for others, thinking good thoughts about others because the bible says that love does not envy, is not easily provoked, is not rude, does not seek its own(ie is not selfish), etc. We must practice love towards all people. JESUS is the CHRIST, the SON of the living GOD. Whosoever reads this message should start practicing what he/she has read in the message.

My brother in law was on the same flight... He told me the same story.. People shitting their pants et all.. Lol.. Yeah plus it's definitely not the fuel or weather. They got another aeroplane for them. The aircraft was obviously faulty. Glad they made it.

I sighted a low flying aircraft around Ijebu Ode axis this evening and called the attention of few people around to it. It was flying very low and we were just looking. It suddenly changed trajectory and returned back to Lagos. I suspect this was it. I told the people to watch out that this will be on the news. Here we are. Thank God for safety.
