NCAA probes United Nigeria Airlines flight deviation to Asaba instead of Abuja

The United Nigeria Airlines flight from Lagos to Abuja that suddenly landed in Asaba, has become the subject of probe by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

 

PoliticsNow had reported how the Airline flight that left Lagos to Abuja on Sunday, mysteriously landed in Asaba, Delta State to the shock of passengers and the airline pilot that had earlier confidently announced “welcome to Asaba.”

 

 

The United Nigeria Airlines later issued a statement claiming it was a flight diversion due to bad weather and not an error. But some of the passengers in the flight countered, saying the pilot confirmed to them that he was given a wrong flight plan.

To clear the confusion that has arisen from the flight NUA 0504, the NCAA announced investigation into the circumstances surrounding flight.

 

 

The statement partly reads: “However, preliminary steps have been taken pending conclusions of ongoing investigation.

 

“The Authority wishes to reassure the travelling public that it will leave no stone unturned as it has always done in the past to ensure the continued safety of the aviation industry.”
