Samsung Galaxy Note 7 banned on Nigerian airlines – NCAA

The Federal government has banned the usage of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on board airlines.

This is contained in a statement issued by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on Tuesday in Lagos.

The statement signed by its General Manager, Public Relations, Sam Adurogboye directed passengers not to turn on or charge their Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices on board aircraft following recent incidents and concerns raised by its manufacturers.

“NCAA is appealing to the passengers’ responsibilities in relation to ensuring safety and security of air transportation.

“Importantly, all airlines are hereby advised to emphasise the prohibition of this devices on board during passenger briefings by the cabin crew.

“Similarly, all those responsible for searching or screening checked-in baggage are expected to intensify the procedures to identify possible checked-in Samsung Galaxy Note 7,” it said.

According to the regulatory body passengers are advised to adhere to the directive to ensure safety and security.

”NCAA therefore calls on all passengers and airline operators to ensure total adherence to this directive as safety and security of air transportation is paramount to the authority,” it said.

The nation’s regulatory body said it had also sent a letter with reference NCAA/DOT/ALL OPS/VOL.1/00716 to all airlines and all other stakeholders for strict compliance.

In a related development the Consumer Protection Council (CPC) on Sunday gave Samsung a 7-day ultimatum on the Galaxy Note 7.
