The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has grounded a private aircraft that landed on a roadway in the Ogwashi‑Uku area near Asaba, Delta State, on Wednesday morning.
No casualties were reported, and all four crew members exited safely. The aircraft later departed the location and returned to Lagos without the required regulatory approval, prompting the NCAA to ground it and suspend the operator’s non‑commercial flight permit. An investigation is underway.
Key Points:
Landing a jet on a public roadway could have caused serious casualties or ground accidents.
Unauthorised departure after the incident violates aviation regulations and raises safety concerns.
The suspension of the operator’s permit signals the NCAA’s zero tolerance for regulatory breaches.
The investigation will review operational, airworthiness, and maintenance records.
The incident may lead to stricter enforcement of landing and take‑off protocols.
The NCAA is coordinating with the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau and other stakeholders to determine the full circumstances, with further enforcement action possible.Please kindly click the Read Original Button at the top to read more of the original content of this article. God bless you.
