NCAA orders all phones switched off during take-off, landing.

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has issued a directive requiring passengers to completely switch off their mobile phones during aircraft take-off and landing. 

This was announced in a post on X on Tuesday by the NCAA's Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, following an emergency meeting held with industry stakeholders earlier on Tuesday, where regulations on the use of phones and other electronic devices during flights in Nigeria were harmonized. 

Achimugu said that this move aims to ensure aviation safety and prevent potential disruptions to aircraft systems.

He emphasized that passengers are now required to switch off their mobile phones during the critical phases of flight, in line with the NCAA's directive, stating that the regulation is expected to enhance safety measures and minimize potential risks associated with electronic device usage during flights.
