LAGOS—Nigerian  Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, yesterday, said it would investigate the emergency landing of Kaduna-bound Aero flight at Abuja Airport last Friday.

The aircraft, a Boeing 737 – 500 with registration no. 5N – BLE and Flight no. NG 181, departed Lagos at 6.35p.m., with 102 passengers on board.

According to Faan Ndubuoke, General Manager, Public Affairs, NCAA: “The Director General, NCAA, Captain Muhtar Usman, has indicated that the Aero Contractor’s Lagos-Kaduna service that diverted to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, last Friday, will be investigated.”

It will be recalled that the Aero flight suffered a de-pressurised cabin, which triggered the oxygen masks to drop and the flight diverted.
