The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) said it has commenced investigation into the circumstances surrounding the diversion of the United Nigeria Airlines flight NUA 0506 to Asaba and the confusion it has created in the public domain.
This was disclosed in a–two paragraph statement signed by the Director General, DGCA, Capt. Musa Nuhu and made available to aviation journalists in Lagos.
The DGCA, however, said in the statement that the preliminary steps have been taken pending conclusions of the ongoing investigation.
He reassured the traveling public that it will leave no stone unturned as it has always done in the past to ensure continued safety of the aviation industry.
Recall that a UNA Abuja bound flight was yesterday diverted to Asaba Airport due to what the airline said was bad weather.
However, the cabin crew further created confusion when it announced that the airplane landed in Abuja when the aircraft actually landed in Asaba Airport.
