Dusty winds blowing in from the Sahara Desert may disrupt flights to and from the Nigerian commercial capital, Lagos, until the end of February. Poor visibility forced carriers including British Airways, Emirates Airline, Delta Air Lines
and Ethiopian Airlines to reroute flights to Abuja, the capital, and neighbouring Ghana and Togo.
The problem was compounded by faulty landing equipment at Lagos’s Murtala Muhammed International Airport, which prevented planes from landing, according to the Aviation Ministry. Seasonal Harmattan winds, which blow from December to February, have reduced visibility across West Africa since last month.
