Ibom Air: NCAA Meets Passenger Comfort Emanson, Crew Members The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) says it has met with Comfort Emanson, the Ibom Air passenger who clashed with crew members and assaulted a flight attendant during an August 10 flight from Uyo to Lagos. NCAA spokesman Michael Achimugu confirmed on Thursday that Emanson attended the meeting with her lawyer. He added that the agency had earlier held talks with crew members as part of an ongoing investigation involving its aviation security, operations, legal, and consumer protection departments. The incident, which went viral on social media, drew mixed reactions after Emanson was filmed in a heated altercation with a flight attendant and later confronted security agents at Lagos airport. She was initially arrested, arraigned, and remanded in prison, but later released after charges were dropped. #IbomAir #AviationSafety #Nigeria

JUST IN: NCAA Orders Passengers To Switch Off Phones During Flights The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has directed that all passengers must switch off mobile phones and portable electronic devices during takeoff and landing. NCAA Director General, Chris Najomo, announced the new rule at a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, citing recent clashes between airline staff and passengers, including a heated incident involving Comfort Emmanson and an Ibom Air flight attendant. Najomo said the directive ends the inconsistency of different airlines applying different rules, stressing that “nothing like flight mode any longer.” Airlines are to update their operations manuals and submit them to NCAA for approval. He added that while future reviews may be considered as technology improves, passengers must comply with crew instructions at all times. #NCAA #Aviation #Nigeria #AirTravel #IbomAir #Passengers #FlightSafety

Ibom Air Drama Sparks Urgent Call for Aviation Security Overhaul — Expert Warns Security consultant Onyekachi Adekoya has described the recent Ibom Air incident as a “wake-up call” for Nigeria’s aviation sector, urging urgent reforms, better training, and stricter security protocols to restore public confidence. During an interview on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, Adekoya stressed that while aviation security is a global priority, Nigeria’s approach lacks the necessary seriousness. He noted that the Ibom Air crew appeared unprepared to handle the situation, calling it a reflection of a “general Nigerian problem” rather than an issue with international standards or procedures. He urged Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo to address faulty equipment, non-functional facilities, and operational lapses. Adekoya also reminded passengers that misconduct onboard is a federal crime, warning that politically convenient resolutions to the case would not reassure the public. Highlighting the crucial role of cabin crew, he warned that political considerations in safety decisions undermine the aviation security framework. “It’s time for stricter enforcement, better preparation, and zero tolerance for negligence,” he said. #IbomAir #AviationSecurity #NigeriaNews #FlightSafety #AviationReform #AirTravel #BreakingNews #OnyekachiAdekoya #FAAN #NCAA
