The incident occurred on Tuesday during a scheduled ValueJet flight VK201, reportedly disrupting standard operational procedures and raising concerns over passenger conduct and airline safety protocols.
Preliminary reports revealed that KWAM1 allegedly violated Nigeria Civil Aviation regulations.
The NCAA emphasized the importance of upholding aviation safety standards and ensuring accountability.
“While full details of the incident are still being compiled, the NCAA has emphasised the importance of upholding aviation safety standards and ensuring accountability, regardless of the parties involved”, Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection of NCAA, Mr Michael Achimugu, said in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
