Final approach 18L, Lagos Nigeria

Last landing for Arik Air. Notice on the roll out that it seems bumpy, it is. The runways in Lagos are that bad. Just ask anyone that's ever flown into that place. Won't miss it. Thats for sure

i read that the airport doesn't even have a proper night lighting...But what happened to the crj900??

I left there in March, don't know about the 900's.Last I heard they were still flying. Night landings any where in Nigeria are very pathetic. Bad runways and poor lighting

Ok Heads up lets speed up this...... RUNWAY 18L is in Good condition, a New Asphalt Surface has been laid down on the runway. probably two years ago.....

enough of the comments..........

This is terrible; why are there no visible lights' posts on the runway? Will this runway be truly safe to land at night? Also I am ashamed by the look of the environment. Is this the same lagos (city of excellence)? Why do Nigerians exhort and exalt critical mediocrity?

Final approach 18L.......does that really exist? Where do they have 1 to 17? where are the lightings?? Even Bagram´s in Afghanistan looks tidier.

@Macimate Nigerian "monkeys" have regularly been called the happiest PEOPLE,not monkeys,on earth you bigoted racist. I am a Nigerian who has lived abroad for a few years and I can honestly say that yes, Nigeria has bad infrastructure but I have met people in your "countries that maintain runways" that don't even deserve to be called animals i.e the ones known as white trash. And just a reminder, your idiotic and uneducated post has insulted 150 million people who ask for an apology.

after landing in memphis tennesse usa,(farming city) i have generated more love for lagos, not everywhere in america is like florida or california.

[Sorrytodisappointyou]

And who exactly are you calling monkeys? When was the last time any woman from your family won miss world? Because a monkey Nigerian has.

that runway looks like its a closed runway as there is an x at the end meaning runway no longer in use

[MACCALEEK]

No, I remember landing at Murtala Muhammed Airport - Lagos, many years ago in the 70s, the runway was bad then. It sounds like it hasn't improved!

WT803 (or was it WT903, it changed) was the flight number I think, on Nigeria Airways. The landing was so bad my sister was sick in the immigration area!

Kano was the same, equally bad.

Don't get me going on the corruption at the airport, I'll post again on that one in due course...

There are!! I´ve landet in Lagos in the night!
