Landing at Lagos Nigeria International Airport LOS
|
What does it look like to land at Lagos, Nigeria's Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS)? For those who wonder, I made the following movie while my flight approached and landed just for your enjoyment:
I'm always amazed at the view - those endless shanties that spread out into the horizon. That all that humanity can live so close together. Its not the vertical living of Hong Kong, but Nigeria doesn't have Asia's organization either. All those people you see while approaching Lagos International are scrounging for a living in the midst of African chaos. |
complaint becaus of BTA:
In the last weeks one of my friends would like to fly to me at Lagos. But he wasn't able to fly, because the airport required the BTA-money. But he didn't have the money for the BTA. He startd several attempts in flying, but didn't got the allowness for the flight. And at the last attempt his ticket would be invalid. If the airport has the BTA-requirement it would be better to give the passengers the possibility to change their flights on a later date. Especially because thesome governemnt-supporters are not in agree with the BTA. They said, that the BTA genrally is to payed. If you find a possibility to fly without BTA and change the flight to a later date, I will thank you. H.H.
