The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has issued a stern warning to international airlines over the growing number of complaints from passengers who are being airlifted halfway to their destinations only to be deported back to Nigeria.
NCAA director of consumer protection and public affairs, Michael Achimugu, who condemned the act, stated that it has caused significant distress to passengers and tarnished the reputation of Nigeria’s aviation industry.
He however emphasized that it is the responsibility of airlines to inform passengers of any potential barriers to their admissibility before they commence travel.
