Passengers Stranded at Maiduguri Airport as Max Air Pilot Refuses to Fly

Passengers at Maiduguri Airport were left stranded when a Max Air pilot refused to operate a scheduled flight over unresolved financial issues with the airline's management. The incident led to confusion and anxiety among 100 passengers who were already on board.

The situation escalated as the pilot declined to proceed, citing unpaid entitlements. After several hours of uncertainty, the passengers were eventually able to re-board a later flight.

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority confirmed the incident but stated that it was an internal matter for the airline to resolve.
