The Federal Government has ordered Turkish Airlines to suspend its operations into Nigeria due to repeated cases of poor enger treatment by the international carrier.

It gave the directive through the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority , directing the airline to suspend its operations until it was ready to operate with the right size of aircraft that could transport all engers with their baggage at the same time .

It was gathered that the government ’s directive came as a result of recent cases in which the airline failed to bring in engers into Nigeria together with their checked -in baggage .

In a letter to the airline by the acting Director -General, NCAA , Capt . Abdullahi Sidi , which was made available by the Federal Ministry of Aviation in Abuja on Thursday , the authority expressed displeasure at the incidents , which it said had been going on for over two weeks.

Sidi said the incidents had become so bad that most recent Turkish Airlines flights arrived in Nigeria without more than 85 per cent of engers ’ baggage on board .

He said , “ Our airport authority has been facing a serious crisis controlling the engers at the airport whenever they arrive without their baggage . This issue has made engers to carry out several mob actions at our airports and it is a great threat to our airport facilities .

“ In view of all these , and a series of meetings held with the Turkish Airlines personnel , which did not yield any solution to this problem , the NCAA is therefore left with no option than to direct Turkish Airlines to suspend its operations into Nigeria until such a time when the airline is ready to operate with the right size of aircraft that can transport all engers with their baggage at the same time .

“ If no remedial action is carried out by your airline , this suspension shall be effective from the 16 th of December, 2019 .”

How can a whole Turkey airline operate with smaller aircraft by bringing engers and their luggage in two different plane.

Every revelation has shown Turkey has been supplying arms to Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria. Unfortunately, Erdogan has refused to comment on this issue.

Nice step here.

Modified: Someone asked if this is enough revelation as stated in my post to back my claim. Turkish airlines and Cargoes from turkey has imported more illegal arms into the country more than any country in the past few years. You can educate yourself by going through previous posts where Turkey was accused of supplying arms to Boko Haram. About 600 assaulted pump-action seized in Lagos port came from Turkey too

This is not serious suspension.. May be media suspension
