The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has imposed an applicable sanction on Aero Airlines over the airport ladder disgrace we all witnessed over the weekend. According to Sam Adurogboye, Ag General Manager, Public Relations, NCAA:

"The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has imposed an applicable sanction on Aero Contractors Airlines in line with Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs)"

"In a letter conveying the sanction, the Director General of the Regulatory Authority, Capt. Muhtar Usman, said the action of Aero Contractors Airline in allowing the use of a ladder to disembark passengers from a Boeing 737 – 500 aircraft in a non-emergency situation is contrary to its approved aircraft handling manual."

"Therefore this is a violation of Part 9.2.4.2(b) of Nig.CARs which part attracts a civil penalty. All relevant agencies made useful submissions during the course of the investigation."

In the letter dated yesterday, December 22, Usman continued: "in view of the safety implications of your action you are hereby sanctioned in accordance with the provisions of Part 20.2.3(15) of the Nig.CARs."

"Although the incident did not result in any mishap, the aircraft is airworthy and the Crew well qualified to operate the flight. However, it is viewed as a breach and resultantly fine running into millions of naira have been clamped on the airline to serve as deterrence and to forestall any similar infraction by any other airline operator."

"In addition, the Captain of the flight was similarly fined for failing to comply with the provisions contained in the aircraft manual."

"The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority ,NCAA, therefore wishes to reiterate its earlier warning that all airlines should endeavour to adhere strictly to Civil Aviation.

Good for them

every thing just whack

stellar oduha where are you

MAKE I WAIT TO SEE WHO BE THE FIRST ZOMBIE TO BLAME JONATHAN

The minister of transport should resign due to this monumental national disgrace

The airline crew breached a basic non emergency safety standard procedure.
Their qualification is suspect

NCAA are clueless jokers. They have failed to sanction the real culprits who failed to bring the motorised staircase to the plane (i.e. NAHCO and SAHCOL the ground handling companies), and they are now extorting their pound of flesh from Aero Contractors who are the victims. Nigeria, we hail thee!

himkers:

You're right.

Aero shd go to court to protest this. The passengers insisted on coming down using the ladder. Was the pilot supposed to stay there waiting for the motorized or return to Abuja?
