An Arik flight that was scheduled to leave Abuja to Lagos by 2pm today kept being delayed until it was ready to leave by 9pm. When they were ready to go, the flight was overbooked. They sold more tickets than the number of seats that they have, leaving many passengers standing on the plane. In 2015, Arik Air! *sigh*!
But the aircraft hasn't left the airport as at the time of writing this report. Sokoto and Yola passengers went to block the aircraft from leaving because their flight that was supposed to leave for 9am today was canceled by 9pm. See more photos after the cut...

WTF!!! Almost thought i'm looking at a luxury bus or danfo bus.
I dont care what anyone says,this is irresponsibility at its peak,both on the side of Arik and the passengers standing.How can you stand in a plane,when obviously,it is overbooked,is that not enough to cause plane crash(God forbid) due to overloading.Sure,they were not forced to go in,what journey would be that important to make you risk loosing your life,cant they demand refund or at the very worst sleep in the airport overnight?Shame on you Arik Air.Imagine the world press gets hold of those pictures.Beyond words
All we need is Change

MADAM GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT BEFORE POSTING CRAP ON HERE.
There are two kinds of people in Nigeria today,those who want
CHANGE and those who want CONTINUITY. If you want change
you are safe, if you want continuity there are two things
involved, is either you reside in LAGOS or you are in PDP. If
you are in lagos you are safe, if you are in PDP there are two
things involved, is either you are Jonathan's family or you are
naturally corrupt. If you are Jonathan's family you are safe cox
u r going back to Otuoke but if you are naturally corrupt, there
are two things involved, is either you leave this country before
March 28 or you remain. If you leave this country you are save
but if you remain, there is ONLY one thing involved, YOU ROT
IN JAIL! Vote for Change Vote Buhari .. #change
Is a lie! Naija ooo!!!
How can this happen in this day and age?

This is a shame, there is no law in that country. What Arik airline did is not safe at all. There is no security in that country. I will never board that plane. I can't believe that people are getting on that plane like that. That airline need to be boycott
Nawaoooo
This looks like Lagos Molue... Arik Airline are really messing up with Nigerians becos they are dominating the industry. Which is bcos there is no serious competition for them and Nigerians are kind spell-bound to them, despite the poor customer service and flight cancellations, yet you see traveller lining to fly them. An Enugu bound fligt yesterday 26 March, was cancelled in the evening around 4;40PM after wasting passengers precious time to catch the flight. The passengers protested and blocked the boarding gate, unless they board the flight they booked, but at the end of the day, the passengers that booked to fly Arik to Enugu were disappointed as the flight was cancelled. Some of them that has engagement for Friday or to vote on Saturday were disorganized. Since, there is no serious competition flying the domestic routes, Arik will continue to mes up with passengers here since they are king and not their customers.

Foolish people risking their life's, i don't know where they are rushing to, if that plane crashes people will start blaming the airline not minding the senseless people who boarded the plane out of their own will.

Hehehehehe!!!!!
BRT bus by air!!!
Naija s'ha.
Wht d hell is dis? Airplane converted to molue... In Nigeria "Wonders shall never end". God forbid bad tin. Dis is uncalled for, and highest level of b irresponsible frm a reputable airline such as Arikline. God help us.
Why do Nigerians unnecessarily just like put their life's at risk, common sense should tell those on board that the plane is carrying excess people thereby making it overweight. If that plane lifts off it is only the grace of God that will make it reach it's destination without crashing.
In my own opinion I don't blame the airline I totally blame the passengers they should know their rights and stand up for it. For goodness sake who stands in a plane, is it a molue.
it is such a pity, SMH for the future of Nigeria
Hmmm! This is bad totally bad. God save ur children BABA God.
You can be so annoying linda. Sensationalizing news for your gain. These just look like passengers getting up before the fasten seat belts lights came off. Every country in this world overbooks flight. Doesnt make it right but they all do

Rlly unbelievable
What kind of nonsense country is this biko?

Oh God let this election come and go joor
What a shame.This is an eye sour.
So linda are you saying that the plane was ready to take off with people standing in the aisle? I think we can all agree that is a no. Nonetheless, they should stop the rubbish of overbooking their flights.
People get heart to stand in plane that is about to fly. Didn't they hear of plane crashes? I rather go home and request for my money back.
Shalom in Nigeria, Amen.
Hmmmm... Where are dey running 2? Nawa oo... So, peeps like us dat are in abj shld die abi?? Wat kind of stupid risks are peeps taking 4 pete's sakes? Hmmm
This na bus oooo no be plane Kaiiii arik una Fuck up and una dey charge pass aero
Really unbelieveable.Why would someone stand on a plane? Na BRT?
Are we moving forward or backwards.
I donot believe this jare.
The flight attendants usually insist that all passengers are seated with their seatbelts fastened before ascend and descend. Abeg i no believe jare.
The only way that any Airline will do this is of they have set aside millions for Lawsuits.
Pls how is this possible, what will they hold onto during takeoff.....this is recklessness of the highest order. The plane shouldn't be allowed to take off
Nooooo I don't want to believe this what ??? How low can it get ,is Arik air beyond sanctions ? Why do they keep getting away with shiiiiiiii?
Jesu Kristi !!!!!! Naija is a funny country I seear
Naija oooo. Aircraft turned moloe!! Hopefully, it wont crash as a result of overweight if they eventually take off (excess humans + excess luggage). Remember it was overload that crashed Aaliyah's plane.
Aibekay
This is serious.... Check more news @ www.naijarealinfo.com
Terrible. I wonder when there will be law and order in Nigeria.

This is my first time ever commenting on this blog but I have to because I experienced arik in all its "glory" today. My flight from Abuja to Escravos was delayed for about 4hrs... Eventually we boarded at about 1pm. time to land, we were taken to warri airport because of the whole presidential movement. As the president was coming from Escravos, we had to wait in warri for like an hr, for Jonathan to depart. We were told that we would then proceed to Escravos to pick up passengers going to Abuja, got to Escravos and we were asked to disembark as a certain minister had been at the airport for 4hrs and really had to leave for Lagos. At this point arik had already boarded warri passengers on this aircraft I landed Escravos in. The plan was to come back from warri and then pick up the minister and other Abuja passengers(who they had asked to disembark earlier) proceed to Lagos to drop the Minister and then go to Abuja which should be the final destination. Luckily for us, Aero going to Lagos landed at Escravos so the Minister boarded Aero and left us with our Arik which was yet to come back to Escravos from Warri. At about 7:30pm the arik plane finally came and we boarded thinking we were headed to Abj since the minister had left for Lagos, only for them to tell us the aircraft will go to Abuja via Lagos. No wahala, as long as we were out of Escravos abi? Got to Lagos at about 8pm and we were asked again to disembark that another plane to Abuja was on ground and was being fueled so passengers could be taken to Abuja. So we waited for another like 1hr, eventually we boarded this so called aircraft plus other Abuja passengers who had been waiting all day, Infact we even had to leave some disgruntled and angry passengers on the Tarmac as the aircraft was full to capacity. We sat in that aircraft for almost 2 hrs. At about 11:30pm they tell us to disembark again that the aircraft is faulty and that another aircraft has been made available for us. Of course we all rushed out and on to the bus to take us to the other aircraft because it had now become a case whoever gets a seat. Finally, we take off and land Abuja at about 1:30am. My journey started at 7:15am yesterday. As I type, I am sitting in a hotel room, unable to sleep. I parked my car at my office, left my house key in my car. Got to the office from the airport and of course security is no where to be found. The car park where my car is parked is locked up. I'm just waiting for 6am so I could get a cab to my office, take my car, go home, shower and sleep! It's been a horrible day, courtesy Arik Airline!!! That Airline should be sued!
Arik's license needs to be revoked asap!
These individuals are really risking the lives of people. Since when did airplanes become "young shall grow bus". God please protect the lives of people daily....@Bia Bia😢😢😢😢😢

And as for the people willing to risk their lives like this, na wa oh! How foolish of them. Life has no duplicate. How the hell are you gonna stand on an airplane line you are standing inside the bus to Oshodi? SMH
What kind of English is this? I suppose the flight was supposed to leave at a specific time, ie, AT 9 am, not at a random time BY 9 am. There's a big difference. AT and BY mean two different things.
Naija my country.I weep 4 u
OMfg... What is wrong with NIGERIA..can't the aviation dept fine them so hard they'd close shop... And you want me to return to this....Asta la vista!
UK Tog

I would rather ride in Keke Marwa, to Lagos, God forbid bad thing.
Oh Nigeria my country , I weep for you. Chai, in 2015, what a drawback !!! I don't blame the passengers as everybody wants to be with his or her family. God help my country

JESUS, God nija can never get better vis not a cause. Oh,how can dis be happening,
