  • “Such reports only tend to create unnecessary fears in the minds of the unsuspecting flying public and, as such, counterproductive.”
  • “We plead with the flying public to be mindful of the consequences of sensationalising such occurrences in aviation as it may be used by outsiders to affect the county’s rating.
  • “All Nigerian airlines are under very strict oversight by the NCAA, hence no room for unsafe practices by any Nigerian airline.
  • “This Tyre burst incident does not and will never detract from Max Air’s well-known safety standards.”
