A delayed Western Shuttle

Thursday's Western Equatorial Shuttle had stops in Mundri, Yei, Kajo Keji, back in Juba, Maridi and Yambio. There were 30 pax in total representing ECS, the Catholic Church, International Medical Corps, Reconcile International, the British Council, Sudan Evangelical Mission, Malteser International, Food for the Hungry, Seed Effect, Action Africa Help International and AMREF.

It was going to be quite a long day, but it needn't have been as long as it was! In the morning there was a strike over unpaid salaries at the airport so no aircraft could start up until that was resolved. We did eventually get started at about 10:15 but it made for another late end to the day, landing back in Juba shortly before 6pm.
