The Nigerian Meteorological Agency has issued an alert on dust-hazy weather condition from Tuesday to Thursday.
According to the agency, flight operations may be delayed as a result of poor visibility. It, therefore, advised airline operators to get updated weather reports from NiMet for effective planning in their operations.
Also, during this period, fuel consumption increases and requires adequate planning by operators, noting that there could be increased chances of bird strike due to influx of migratory birds which constitute hazards to flight operations. “Motorists are also advised to adhere to recommended tyre pressure by the manufacturers especially during the hot days to safeguard against tyre burst. With reduced visibilities, flight delays or cancellations, in compliance with safety regulations may not be unexpected,” the statement partly read.
