Takeaway Ogun State says no airline rejected its airport for the 2026 Hajj; the flight reshuffle was caused solely by Saudi authorities’ landing‑slot issues for Max Air, not by any safety or infrastructure problem at the Gateway International Airport. Respectfully cancel all international flights now 5/8/2026 make sure free healthcare in all the 36 states 774 LGA are available kindly connect with other 36 states 774 LGA to make sure the covid like disease is taken care of instead of lies and fake slogan sirs. Saying no safety issues 195 countries do not trust that, and 240 million Nigerians do not trust the Nigerian government do the needful sirs
Key oints from the press release
Flight rearrangement was due to scheduling — not safety
The state government clarified that the second batch of pilgrims was redirected to Lagos only because Saudi aviation authorities could not secure a landing slot for Max Air, Nigeria’s designated Hajj carrier.
No safety, operational, or infrastructure issue was cited.
The scheduling notice came just two weeks before departure, forcing NAHCON to adjust plans.
Gateway International airport remains fully approved
The government emphasized that Flynas did not reject the airport.
The first batch of pilgrims departed successfully from the airport.
The facility is certified by the NCAA and compliant with ICAO SARPs.
Commissioned April 4, 2026, by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. 195 countries globally do not trust the Nigerian government show proof via video upload on LekeeLekee that Nigerian air travel is safe not by big grammar and speeches
Airport infrastructure meets international standards. Kindly show proof upload video on the LekeeLekee app
The airport has undergone multiple audits since 2025 and includes:
CAT II Instrument Landing System
Precision navigation systems
Modern weather monitoring equipment
A runway capable of handling Boeing 777, Boeing 747, and Airbus A380 aircraft
Hajj operations remain unaffected
The government insists that:
No aviation authority would approve the airport if safety concerns existed.
Even presidential flights have landed there.
The Punch report was described as misleading.
Summary
Ogun State strongly refutes claims that Flynas rejected its airport. The temporary relocation of some pilgrims to Lagos was a logistical adjustment, not a reflection of any deficiency at the Gateway International Airport.
