AirfranceTHISDAY reported that the Air France flight landed in Lagos via Cotonou with 118 passengers on board at 3 p.m. local time while the British High Commission is also exploring options for sending its staff, dependents and other Britons to the UK.

Investigation revealed that the landing of the aircraft was delayed for two hours over what NCAA called “load sheet balancing” but the 260 passengers boarded the flight from Lagos and the aircraft took off to Paris about 3.44 pm local time.
