The management of Aero Contractors has explained that the passengers who chartered the Boeing 737-500, which landed at the Bauchi Airport on Saturday, chose to disembark via a ladder. According to the management, the passengers said they could no longer wait for the airstairs as they were in Bauchi to attend a wedding. The 34 passengers, including the groom, were said to have pressured the pilot that they disembark from the aircraft with a ladder due to the delay.Though the name of the groom was not disclosed, the airline said the angry passengers reportedly forced Capt Nikcevic Vlado to allow them disembark after waiting 10 minutes for the airport manager to provide the airstairs.

Addressing a briefing yesterday in Lagos, the Accountable Manager and Managing Director, Capt Russel Lee Foon, said the breach in operational procedures was due to failure of the airport management. In Foon's words, “Prior to leaving Abuja, the flight despatcher contacted the Airport manager to advise that the aircraft was taxing out and he confirmed that they were ready to receive the flight. At 10:42am, the aircraft touched down on Runway 35 at the Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa International Airport. The controller advised the crew that due to the absence of marshallers and ramp officials, parking would be at their own discretion.”

“At 10:44am, the flight despatcher on board contacted the Airport manager to advise him that they were on the ground, to which he confirmed that he has seen the aircraft and that they were waiting. After parking, the captain reported that they waited for 10 minutes for the stairs to be brought to the aircraft but no assistance or stairs came to the aircraft. The captain reported that he informed the passengers of the situation as they were beginning to get agitated. What was not known to the crew at the beginning of the flight was that the groom was on board. The wedding was to start in 20 minutes. At this point the captain went to the cabin and explained to the passengers that he may have to take them back to Abuja as they cannot disembark due to lack of stairs."

Foon further said the passengers said the alternative, which the fire service provided was a ladder which the passengers took as an option and on their own free will used the ladder to disembark against the wishes of the captain and crew. Reacting to this,the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) yesterday through its spokesman, Yakubu Dati said: “Without prejudice to the directive given by the minister of state for Aviation for investigation into the cause of the incident, we wish to clarify that Aero Contractors’ use of unauthorised equipment (ladder) to disembark its passengers does not have anything to do with FAAN.

“The Bauchi Airport is managed by the Bauchi State government and FAAN only provides statutory services at the airport, such as aircraft marshalling, aviation security services and fire cover. The Authority does not provide handling services for Aero Contractors and therefore does not understand why it should be held responsible for the non-provision of appropriate equipment for passenger disembarkation. We also do not understand why the absence of marshallers on the apron, as claimed by the airline, could cause the use of unauthorised equipment for the disembarkation of passengers from the aircraft. We urge the public to discountenance any story linking FAAN, in any way, with the use of unauthorised equipment by Aero Contractors at the Bauchi Airport.”

To be frank everything about dis country is in a state of flux.... Ladder to come down from plane? Wetin we no go hear

After Fashola's flimsy excuse before the senate for the N70mill website,this ridiculous excuse by Aero Contractors is the most annoying,unintelligent and provocative 'alibi' for dereliction of duty and responsibility I have heard this year.Coming from the expatriates managing Aero Contractors,this is an insult on our collective intelligence as a Nation.'Chose to disemberk?'/'Forced the pilot' etc.This is embarrassing.

They should tell that to the marines. The passengers might as well ask for a particular pilot.

In lai voice,"let's blame Gej for this because he didn't put anything in place."

I personally have no reason not to believe the statement by Aero. Reason being that I know how Nigerians no matter how educated are impatient when it comes to certain things.

Some of them would have reasoned that since we are already at Bauchi we may as well find a way to get off this plane.

If you have ever been on a local flight, you would notice how passengers start to scramble to get off the plane before it comes to a complete stop.

I am not saying the act is justified, just saying that I would not doubt that the passengers decided to take that action on their own.

This is too bad.
I just wonder if the plane had made an emergency landing owing to a faulty engine which could lead to crash.
They would have wasted peoples lives

Demmocrats:
See lie, amateurs they should meet Lia Mohammed for a tutor in Lying 578, sounded like and cocck and bull story. "they couldn't wait" but they waited for ladder to come. Have you ever heard such bullshit in other countries.

#Sack_All_Those_Involved.

Their excuse does not make any sense at all!

Disembarking via a ladder in the 21st century?

Who does that?

The excuse sounds plausible to me sha...

Don't mind those incompetent mofos

The person that gave this excuse needs to just deny he siad this shii! If I were his boss, I may fire him for disgracing us even more. He is digging a deeper hole instead of filling up the already dug one.

So they also dont follow protocol at that airport ontop of not having necesaary facility to run the place. Plus now they have incompetent staff who get pushed around by passangers?
What next? That the passangers asked to be allowed to takeoff without using seat belts or that passanger asked to use the toilet during takeoff?

I am so surprised that aero management can respond in such manner. Anyway any thing goes in Nigeria.

Wasn't the airport manager aware that a flight was landing? Why didn't he make things available before landing? Is this airport fully operational to allow this mess? Where is the international standard airport ms oduah promised us financed with $1b?

We need to wake up in this country, by now I expect to hear internal probes and suspensions.

Bauchi state government refuse to be held liable.
FAAN refuse to be held liable.
AeroContractors refuse to be held liable.
Now the passengers are to blame?

The joke of a country

And Aero agreed, thereby tarnishing their name and that of the country. Nonsense.

Interesting. So they carried their bus mentality to the air too Nigerians and impatience tsk.

Instead of apologising and taking responsibility. ,they are trying to shift blame

Why are people not asking pertinent questions here? The main question here is " whose duty is it to provide airstairs FAAN or Aero"? When this question is answered then it's obvious to know who to apportion blame to and sanction instead of these accusations and counter accusations!
I do not blame the passengers one bit as it's very frustrating that perhaps after your flight had been delayed you finally take off and upon getting to your destination you cannot come down again due to lack of ladder for wetin? And the option of taking them back to Abuja was even more primitive and inconsiderate!
These passengers were even mellow, I bet if it were my Okoro brothers or even myself inside that plane that's when I would practise how to slide down through the emergency exit door or even scatter the window!

Real reasons why the whites mock us. Insensitivity +lackadaisical attitude towards ones job. Both the airline and airport official should report at the court premises in Bauchi asap.why will you fly a plane without a disembarking ladder. And since the arrival of the flight has been announced the useless airport staff should have made a presentable alternative not this ladder stuff. Round pegs in square holes. People who are as old as their ideas. People who always want to disgrace this country by being a case study for bad examples.

End time airport crew...

The famous senator Ali modu sherrif son wedded at Bauchi the same day at that time,who so ever that groom is must have broken his fathers record.

You no well,i don laugh tire

So if the same young people decide that the pilot should kuku go and drop them at their hotel, the pilot go just drive the plane go there?

Nonsense excuse
