Nigeria begins probe after plane lands at wrong airport
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) is investigating an incident in which an Abuja-bound flight mistakenly landed in Asaba, Delta State. Reports indicate that an incorrect announcement was made by the cabin crew upon landing, causing confusion among passengers.
The NCAA’s inquiry aims to determine the circumstances surrounding this diversion and ensure passenger safety in the future.
Global Times Nigeria’s investigative report has found that the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority has launched an investigation into reports that a plane bound for Abuja, the federal capital, landed more than 450km off course in Asaba, the Delta State Capital
It added that it wanted to assure travellers that it would leave “no stone unturned” to ensure safety in the aviation industry.
Earlier, United Nigeria Airlines said the Sunday flight from the main city, Lagos, to Abuja had temporarily been diverted to Asaba in Delta state due to bad weather.
It said the wrong announcement was made to passengers when the plane landed in Asaba, and it wanted to apologise for the “misunderstanding”.
