Flight diversion: NCAA lifts ban on United Nigeria aircraft

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has lifted the ban placed on an aspect of the operations of the United Nigeria Airlines Company Limited which affected one of its aircraft.

The airline made this known in a statement on Friday night.

The airline was slammed with a suspension of some aspects of its operations on Sunday after the airline’s Airbus diverted a flight, NUA 0504, headed for Abuja to Asaba, the Delta State capital.

The United Nigeria Airlines, however, apologised to its customers for how they had been affected by the suspension, saying: “We are pleased to announce the lifting of the suspension placed on our ‘Part G’ operations specifications which affected one of our aircraft. We want to express our deepest gratitude to you for keeping faith with us and for your understanding during this period.

“We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you and would want to reassure you that our dedicated team is working around the clock to resolve the backlog of flights schedules because we understand the importance of your travel plans and the trust you place in us.
