British Airways Still Flying to Abuja Despite Terror Alert, UK Carrier Says

Despite security alert about possible terror attack in the Federal Capital Territory issued by the US and UK embassies, British Airways still operates its London-Abuja flight.

Although the UK mega carrier’s flight was delayed on Friday, October 28, 2022, but the flight later operated to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

British Airways Regional Commercial Manager, West Africa, Mrs. Adetutu Otuyalo confirmed that the airline, which has operated to Nigeria for 85 years, has no inclination to suspend flight service; unless it receives signals to do so from government.

“We are not cancelling flights. We are working closely with government authorities following the Foreign Commonwealth Office advice against all but essential travel to Abuja. Safety is at the heart of everything we do and we will continue to monitor the situation closely,” she said.
