450 planes declared unfit to fly

    ABIDJAN

    The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has declared 450 planes in the country unfit to fly. Most of the planes have already been grounded for several years, AFP reported on Thursday.

    Aviation officials have ordered the planes to be removed from the country’s airports. Several airline companies operate in Nigeria and tickets are relatively cheap because of the country’s inexpensive aviation fuel.
