Can you remember I share this picture last week ? But some couldn’t believe it when the photos of Aero Contractors Airlines using a ladder to disembark passengers from a Boeing 737 aircraft at the Bauchi airport on Saturday hit the Internet.
Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, on Sunday ordered an immediate investigation into the incident, Vanguard reports.
James Odaudu, Deputy Director, Press and Public Affairs of the Ministry revealed this via the following statement:
Several
reports received by the Minister have indicated the airline used a
ladder to disembark passengers from a Boeing 737 aircraft at the Bauchi
airport on Saturday December 19th 2015.
The
act is inconsistent with Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations, NCAR and
International Civil Aviation Organization, ICAO, Standards and
Recommended Practices, SARPS.
The
investigation will determine the immediate and remote causes of the
incident with a view to developing and implementing measures that will
prevent a re-occurrence of the unsafe and unacceptable procedure that
exposed passengers to high risk of serious injury.
He
reiterated that if the airline is found culpable, the full weight of
sanctions within extant laws and regulations would be applied.
