BREAKING: NCAA bans use of phones in airplane mode during take-off, landing
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has issued a new regulation prohibiting passengers from using their phones in airplane mode during take-off and landing. The spokesperson for NCAA, Michael Achimugu, announced the directive on Tuesday, stating that it is a unified regulation across all Nigerian airlines.
According to the new rule, phones must be switched off completely during critical aspects of landing. Airlines are required to update their security programs to comply with the regulation, as the use of airplane mode is no longer permitted.
The NCAA emphasized that the regulation is necessary to reflect the evolving technological situation. Passengers and airlines are urged to adhere to the new rule to ensure safety during flights.
