AON Places Indefinite Flight Ban on Comfort Emmanson After Ibom Air Altercation

The Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) has announced an indefinite ban on Ms. Comfort Emmanson, following an altercation with crew members of Ibom Air. The sanction applies to both domestic and international flights operated by all AON member airlines.

According to a statement released by AON’s spokesperson, Professor Obiora Okonkwo, the incident occurred on August 10, 2025, aboard Ibom Air flight Q9 303 from Uyo to Lagos. Upon landing, Ms. Emmanson was captured in a viral video physically attacking members of the airline’s crew.

While some social media users initially alleged that the crew members had assaulted the passenger, AON clarified that the video evidence and accounts from the flight showed the opposite to be true.

“The AON condemns in the strongest terms the violent incident involving Ms. Comfort Emmanson,” the statement read. “Effective immediately, she has been placed on the AON ‘No Fly’ list indefinitely, and is banned for life from flying with any AON member airline, whether on domestic or international routes.”

Professor Okonkwo noted that such unruly behaviour has become increasingly common in recent months, referencing earlier incidents involving Nigerian musician King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM 1) on VajueJet, as well as the reported misconduct of Senator Adams Oshiomhole towards Air Peace staff.

AON emphasised that it is committed to protecting its airline staff and ensuring passenger safety, warning that any further acts of physical or verbal assault against crew members will be met with similar sanctions.
