NCAA Revises Phone Regulations on Domestic Flights, Mandates Switch-Off During Takeoff and Landing

By Samuel Temiloluwa

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has mandated that all mobile phones must be switched off during takeoff and landing of an aircraft in Nigeria, stating that the flight mode option is no longer acceptable. This directive was issued by the Director-General of the NCAA, Captain Chris Najomo, after an emergency meeting of the National Civil Aviation Security Committee (NSASC) and stakeholders’ meeting held in Abuja.

The meeting, which included airline operators, security agencies, and other aviation stakeholders, aimed to address unruly passengers’ behavior and safety concerns. Captain Najomo emphasized the need for deeper synergy between all aviation stakeholders to stem such behavior and ensure safety.

To implement the new regulation, airline operators in Nigeria are directed to amend their manuals to reflect the requirement and submit them to the NCAA for approval. Crew members are also expected to communicate the directive to passengers, who are expected to comply with the crew instructions.

The NCAA’s directive comes amid concerns over unruly passenger behavior, and the authority has warned that such behavior will no longer be tolerated. The NCAA has also invited some passengers and crew members of Ibom Air for further questioning regarding a recent incident.

In a separate development, the NCAA has granted approval to Gateway Airport to begin commercial flights. This move is expected to boost the country’s aviation industry and provide more options for passengers.

The NCAA’s efforts to improve aviation safety and security, as well as its regulatory oversight, are crucial to the industry’s growth and development. What are your thoughts on the NCAA’s new phone regulations and their potential impact on air travel?
