APPEAL FOR THOROUGH INVESTIGATION INTO WHY 7 STAR GLOBAL HANGAR LEAVES TRAVELLERS IN LIMBO AND DELAY IN REFUND ON CANCELLED FLIGHT
Distinguished Senator Sir, as the Chairman Senate Committee on Aviation, I will like to call your attention to the recent incident which occurred between the above mentioned company (7 Star Global Hangar) and travellers who paid for a chartered ight to Canada and the United States from Nigeria.
7 Star Global publicized an advert on social media. Comedian, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY assisted the organization on his Instagram page to post the same, its Repatriation Chartered ight in conjunction with Olon Micronance Bank.
The chartered flight ight according to my findings was supported by Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, who raised additional over N110 million for the repatriation ight for Canada and US residents and citizens who got stuck in the country due to global lockdown caused by the novel Coronavirus pandemic to reunite with their respective families. Instead of making the journey successful without stress, 7 Star Global and its Spanish partner WAMOS Air added to their woes.
The scheduled ight was presumed to be direct ight 13 hours Lagos to Toronto to Newark and then return Newark to Lagos otherwise known with IATA code: LOS-ABV-YYZ-EWR on the 26th July, 2020 via WAMOS Air, Aircraft A330-200 Pax 300. Flight EB 96.
Distinguished Senator, over 200 passengers suffered in Lagos after the ight was cancelled twice and eventually, when the Spanish carrier came they lifted 177 leaving the others.
7 Star Global Hanger on Eid-el-Kabir Day left the travellers in limbo, leaving them without water, food or accommodation which is against international best practices as attainable in the
aviation industry. Who knows how long this has been happening?
Distinguished Senator Sir, I have spoken with all parties involved as an Investigative Journalist you should understand my message as a Senior Colleague Sir, 7 Star Global Hangar is still not ready to refund other travellers who nd other alternatives to get to their various destinations after they cancelled the ight twice. Meanwhile, the company made it clear in its yers that ‘Full Refund on Cancellation of Flight’. Still, they have not refunded to a single person.
7 Star Global Hanger that collected money from over 400 travellers both in Nigeria and the United States did not even have an aircraft to run the trip. The deal according to my ndings is £469,535 which is about N282 million.
Distinguished Senator Sir, I strongly suggest your committee to invite 7 Star Global Hanger management on why the company collected funds from passengers and could not deliver on the trip, why would they have approached Spanish carrier WAMOS Air when Nigerian local operators such as Air Peace, Dana Air, Aero among others can render the same service?
Let me leave you and other members of your committee to do your job. Looking forward to your response Distinguished Senator Sir.
Thanks
Yours faithfully
Jumu’ah Abiodun
