The Nigerian government has placed a ban on the flying of Boeing 737 Max airplanes on her airspace as a result of the Ethiopia Airlines plane crash that claimed 157 lives over the weekend.
This development was made known to state house correspondence by Hadi Sirika, Minister of State on Aviation, at the end of the federal executive council (FEC) meeting, presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Sirika said, “Regarding Boeing 737 Max 8 and Max 9, that has been in the news recently, there is no cause for alarm as there is no operator in Nigeria that is using that type of airplane.
“Regardless of the enormous safety records of this plane 737, it has caused concern in the world of aviation and you know aviation is universal, whatever affects one affects the other because aircraft will be flying in and out.
“So, we have issued directive that no operator with Boeing 737 Max 8 or Max 9 should operate into and outside our airports and this is being carried out.”
