Aviation fuel scarcity to disrupt Nigerian flights

Bloomberg

Airlines in Africa’s largest economy warned of possible flight disruptions in the coming days because of a scarcity of aviation fuel.
“Unfortunately the fuel scarcity is starting to seriously impact our operations,” Air Peace, one of Nigeria’s biggest carriers, said in a statement. “We are likely to experience flight disruptions today and in the coming days until the situation is resolved.”
Nigeria has experienced fuel shortages since the beginning of February, after the authorities rejected a batch of imported gasoline that contained too much methanol, making it unsuitable for domestic usage.
The Nigerian government doesn’t regulate the price of aviation fuel, like it does for gasoline, allowing importers to sell at market-determined prices.
