Stranded Abuja-bound passengers pay $20,000 for private jet to leave Chad
Joy Ezeilo, a professor, says some passengers have paid $20,000 for a private jet to depart N’Djamena.
Ezeilo is one of the Abuja-bound passengers stranded in Chad.
Air France’s flight AF878 was grounded on Sunday after the airliner said its A330’s hull was damaged before takeoff.
The airliner said the damage was as a result of a “heavy thunderstorm”.
The flight was destined for N’Djamena, the Chadian capital, from where it was to takeoff for Abuja and then to Paris.
In a post on X on Sunday, Ezeilo said some passengers are still waiting for an aircraft promised by Air France to airlift them from N’Djamena to Nigeria.
“Some stranded passengers who can afford it and with urgent business to attend have chartered an aircraft costing over 20k USD,” she posted.
“They just departed N’Djamena to Abuja now. I wish them a safe and smooth journey.
“We’re on standby for Air France tonight.”
