Less than four weeks after the widely publicized incident involving Comfort Emmanson on an Ibom Air flight, Nigerian aviation is once again in the spotlight following another disruptive passenger drama.

This time, the controversy surrounds Enugu Air, the airline owned by the Enugu State government. A video circulating on social media shows an unruly passenger causing commotion mid-flight, sparking outrage among Nigerians and raising renewed concerns about discipline and safety within the aviation sector.

The footage, which has gone viral, captures heated exchanges between the disruptive passenger and crew members, while fellow travelers watched anxiously. The incident reportedly delayed the flight schedule, and several passengers expressed fear over how such behavior could compromise onboard safety.

Aviation stakeholders have condemned the recurring trend of disorderly conduct on Nigerian flights, warning that such actions endanger not only passengers but also flight operations. Industry experts have also urged airlines and regulators to strengthen enforcement measures to deter future occurrences.

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has been monitoring these developments closely, with expectations that stricter rules may soon be applied against unruly passengers. Analysts say the rise of such incidents threatens to damage the image of domestic carriers at a time when the aviation industry is struggling to rebuild confidence and improve services.

The Enugu State government has not yet issued an official statement regarding the viral video. However, aviation observers stress that the airline must act swiftly to address the matter, as public trust is key to the growth of Enugu Air.

With two high-profile passenger disruptions within a month, stakeholders believe Nigeria’s aviation sector is facing a wake up call: enforce discipline now or risk deeper crises that could undermine safety, reputation, and public confidence.
