They, therefore, asked Nigerians not to entertain any fear over the security of flight operations in the country.
Mr. Sam Adurogboye of the NCAA, said the advice became necessary following the Arik Air flight incident from Abuja to Lagos.
He said the flight was aborted on the runway due to a technical fault, just before take–off at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
Adurogboye gave assurance that the NCAA was on top of the situation.
“Our engineers are there on ground 24/7 to rectify any fault because safety is paramount to us."
Passengers are always in a hurry, especially in Nigeria. So true. If a plane develops a fault it must be certified alright before passengers can be allowed to continue on their journey.
Everywhere in the world, a plane has to be certified okay before it can be allowed to fly. Therefore, we urge passengers to always be patient when it's necessary.
A passengers on board the Arik plane, who wants to remain anonymous, said the pilot noticed an electrical fault and taxied back to the terminal building.
“The fault was supposedly fixed, but we are still waiting for the NCAA to certify the plane to fly. They said we may have to go to Lagos in another aircraft,’’
Arik Airline head of communication, Mr. Ola Adebanji said the company has its engineers working around the clock and are looking into the problem.
