Hundreds of passengers are currently stranded at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on account of a chartered aircraft (Private jet) which broke down on the runway.
Reports had earlier reported that a private aircraft broke down at about 2:00pm at the boarding gate. The development forced airplanes that were due for landing to return to where they departed from and prevented take-off from Abuja.
A boarding gate staff disclosed to a correspondent that no announcement of the development has been made to prevent passengers from protesting, as no solution has been found to move the aircraft off the runway.
