Medview Airline said it delivered the
last batch of the delayed passengers’ baggage on its London-Lagos
route on Monday.
Mr Obuke Oyibhota, the media consultant
to the airline, disclosed this in a statement obtained by the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos.
The airline advised passengers, who
were yet to collect their baggage, to do so by visiting the `D Wing’
of the arrival hall in the Murtala Muhammed International Airport,
Lagos.
Medview Airline and the passengers’
ordeal started on Dec. 19 when Gatwick Airport closed its main runway
for maintenance.
According to the statement, the airport
authorities asked the Medview to use a shorter runway, but since the
aircraft load was heavier, it could not use that runway with the
weight and the baggage were, therefore, offloaded.
“Since then the airline has been
doing everything possible to resolve the situation, including
entering into an alliance with the British Airways that finally
delivered the baggage.
“It said the baggage arrived in three
batches from Dec. 31, 2016 to Jan. 2,’’ the statement read in
part.
Prior to the delivery, the airline, had
on Friday night, sent SMS to all the affected passengers, telling
them to check the tag numbers of the baggage that had arrived on its
Website.
The statement quoted the Chief
Executive Officer of Medview Airline, Alhaji Muneer Bankole, as
saying that the airline and passengers’ ordeal over the baggage was
over.
He thanked the affected passengers for
their understanding and reaffirmed the airline’s commitment to
providing them quality services.
