Last I checked the airspace is closed to flights below FL270.

Can Niger even police their airspace ?

Do they have total radar coverage or the resources to enforce a total airspace lockdown?

They've only two rusty SU-25s and zero SAMs.

The junta is a joke.

The Junta is a joke yet flights are avoiding the airspace already, it's like you people don't understand what's up. Anything that crosses their airspace is as good as dead coz Niger were diplomatic enough to communicate that their airspace is closed. Are you now smarter or more knowledgeable than the pilots flying those planes. If you get strong head, fly enter there now then tell us how far

Radar coverage or not. No airline takes that risk when there's an express instruction of closure

Passengers travelling out of Abuja to Europe and North America should expect increase in Cost of Ticket as well as increase in travel time .

Lets hope Mali ,Burkina faso and Gambia does not enforce no fly zone .it will be catastrophe for Airlines and their passengers travelling out of Nigeria .

No Airline in the world will fly over active conflict zone or when Countries declares no flight zone .

Example of Malaysian airline MH 17 shot done over ukraine and subsequent bankruptcy of Malaysian airline made all the airlines of the world to avoid global hot spots .

Airlines have totally avoided Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen for many years .

If I remember right, it was ecowas that first placed sanction on them by closing borders and airspace before Niger then officially declared it. Guess some ecowas leaders are green horns that did not think it through, hot body moved them.
Do we realise the devastation to our aviation, as in travel to Europe it will be for us?. Just a look at the map. Instead of direct flight through Niger, this British airways flight had to divert. Imagine if Mali joins to block us.

is there a way you can carry your family in a private plane and try it out so that we can see and check something.

Exactly my thought.
Let him gather his family and fly through Niger so we believe they dont have weapons

this is what happen when nation stand on their ground

AntiMarxist:


The only reason commercial flights will avoid the airspace because no insurance company will cover them if they route through Niger airspace.

What about human casualties.

Kids just full Nairaland. What does it take to bring down a plane? No be so rebels shoot down Plane carrying Juvenal and Cyprien wey intensify the Rwanda war for 1994. This is 2023 and there are more deadlier weapons in existence. Bringing down a plane is piece of cake. Na mumu go violate that order.

How I wish they will carry you and fly above Niger. We want to check something

No civilian airline would risk flying over a closed or contested airspace, just to test whether they've any SAMs or other anti-aircraft capabilities.

All these negative talks , only indicates that these people are not military expert. A large and encompassing force. German infantry tactics in WWII emphasized an aggressive offense with the element of surprise as a recipe for success. They focused on such aspects as speed of attack
The pincer movement, or double envelopment, is a military maneuver in which forces simultaneously attack both flanks (sides) of an enemy formation. This classic maneuver is important throughout the history of warfare.
A full pincer movement leads to the attacking army facing the enemy in front, on both flanks, and in the rear. If attacking pincers link up in the enemy's rear, the enemy is encircled. Such battles often end in surrender or destruction of the enemy force,

AntiMarxist:

Like that time Ekpa declared Biafra airspace a no fly zone

Shift.

You are talking about a sovereign and independent state here. Especially with rumours of Mercenaries on ground,even your dead beat president would not dare send boots on ground to Niger.

The people of Niger who are praising the Military boys would later regret their short euphoria because nowhere in history except for Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (Turkey) and Francisco Franco (Spain) have changed their country with absolute power other military boys from history are only there to plunder, steal, rape and destroy their land like a mad bull in a China shop. The Khaki boys are not trained to rule a country. They don't understand Politics, economics, market forces, Macro and Microeconomics and are often misled by corrupt civilian collaborators.
