The Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika yesterday gave a
direction to an immediate investigation into the use of ladder by Aero
Contractors Airlines on its chartered flight at the Bauchi Airport which
went viral on Saturday.
He said: “Several reports received by the Minister have indicated the
airline used a ladder to disembark passengers from a Boeing 737 aircraft
at the Bauchi airport on Saturday December 19th 2015.
"The act is inconsistent with Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations, NCAR

Recommended Practices, SARPS.
“The investigation will determine the immediate and remote causes of the
incident with a view to developing and implementing measures that will
prevent a re-occurrence of the unsafe and unacceptable procedure that exposed passengers to high risk of serious injury.
