Federal Govt announces new rule on phone use in flights for passenger

News Update

THE Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has ruled that all mobile phones must be completely switched off during flight take-off and landing.

Michael Achimugu, the NCAA’s director of public affairs and consumer protection, said the regulation concerning phones and other electronic devices in Nigeria has now been unified.

This comes days after an Ibom air passenger, Comfort Emmanson, and an air hostess clashed over turning off her phone on a flight from Uyo to Lagos state.
