 SENATE STEPS IN TO CURB RESTRICTIVE LANDING FOR COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFTS DURING VIP MOVEMENT The Senate has expressed concern over the practice of imposing restricted movement on commercial arrivals at Nigerian airports whenever a VIP flight is expected, without regard to safety protocol. The lawmakers observed that the situation has become a recurring danger, with aircraft forced to remain airborne even when authorities knew well in advance that a VIP flight would land at the same destination at the same time. Sequel to a motion by Senator Isah Jibrin, following a recent experience, the Senate warned that the mismanagement of time and airspace could lead to calamity, particularly if an aircraft in holding develops an emergency, runs low on fuel, or encounters bad weather. The Senate Committee on Aviation has been mandated to interface with the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency NAMA, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority NCAA, the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau NSIB, and the Fe...
