NCAA bans the use of this Samsung product on board Nigerian airlines
This was contained in a statement issued by the
Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and
signed by its General Manager, Public Relations, Sam Adurogboye on Tuesday in Lagos.
The statement directed passengers not to turn on or charge their Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices on board aircraft following recent incidents and concerns raised by its manufacturers.
The statement reads:
NCAA is appealing to the passengers’ responsibilities in relation to ensuring safety and security of air transportation. Importantly, all airlines are hereby advised to emphasise the prohibition of this devices on board during passenger briefings by the cabin crew.
Similarly, all those responsible for searching or screening checked-in baggage are expected to intensify the procedures to identify possible checked-in Samsung Galaxy Note. NCAA therefore calls on all passengers and airline operators to ensure total adherence to this directive as safety and security of air transportation is paramount to the authority.
