<b>LAGOS, NIGERIA - Two days after the Bristow helicopter crash, the Accident Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Aviation says it has found the black boxes.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The black box is a device which captures flight conversations and the final moments before any aircraft crash.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The two boxes were found after several hours of search by professional divers at the scene of the crash.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The recovered black boxes were handed over to officials from Bristow Helicopters and the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, six people who survived the 5N-BDG-760540 Bristow helicopter crash have been receiving treatment at the St. Nicholas Hospital, Lagos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When <b><a href="http://www.channelstv.com/2015/08/14/crashed-bristow-helicopter-black-box-found/">Channels TV</a> </b>visited the place on Lagos Island on Friday, the management confirmed that the patients were actually there but could not disclose the progress or response made by the patients to treatment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Twelve people were said to be in the ill-fated helicopter and six out of that number were killed in the crash.</div>

Why We Denied Patience Jonathan's Convoy Access To The Tarmac - FAAN

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga1HiQx3kCm004_MlGRv1AkXoEHqMKe6jgqWP7lT6imj11pr4noV_JuJpM_bhyl_OzJ6UtdTwhCbpLjdyLKsnHeENAnYzNnB4GW95xBsIcCqiVKD56QbJhScvVIFokc2mD_Dp9ls-l_4bf/s1600/Patience+GEJ1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga1HiQx3kCm004_MlGRv1AkXoEHqMKe6jgqWP7lT6imj11pr4noV_JuJpM_bhyl_OzJ6UtdTwhCbpLjdyLKsnHeENAnYzNnB4GW95xBsIcCqiVKD56QbJhScvVIFokc2mD_Dp9ls-l_4bf/s1600/Patience+GEJ1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>PORT HARCOURT, NIGERIA - The convoy carrying the wife of the former President, Dame Patience Jonathan, was stopped from taking her to the foot of the aircraft on the tarmac of the Port Harcourt International Airport, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has said.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The former First Lady was reportedly stopped from using the VIP lounge of the airport. But the FAAN said it was not so. It was learnt that Dame Jonathan had gone to Port Harcourt on a private visit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sources at the airport also alleged that the former First Lady was denied access to the lounge by security operatives of FAAN, who reportedly said they were working based on orders from above.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But reacting to the report, FAAN, in a statement on Tuesday, described it as misleading and mischievous, stressing that the wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan was not denied access to "the VIP lounge at the Port Harcourt International Airport on July 27, 2015."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the authority was quick to state that what its security officials did was to stop the former First Lady's convoy from gaining access to the tarmac where her aircraft was parked.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Yakubu Dati, said the security officials explained to Dame Jonathan's team why her convoy was stopped, adding that the officials were only abiding by international safety standards.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
FAAN said: "The former First Lady's convoy was only denied access to the foot of the aircraft during boarding formalities at the airport in line with international aviation best practices, strictly for safety reasons, as prescribed by the International Civil Aviation Organisation. Our security officials explained this fact to details of the former First Lady.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We wish to recall that former President Goodluck Jonathan, in his recent trips from the same airport, had had to walk to the aircraft from the protocol lounge, in recognition of this ICAO regulation."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
FAAN went on to explain that family members of former Presidents were officially entitled to use the VIP lounge, adding that Dame Jonathan would not be denied that right, <b><a href="http://www.punchng.com/news/we-only-stopped-patience-jonathan-from-being-driven-to-tarmac-faan/">The Punch</a> </b>reports.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It said: "We wish to state that no such thing happened as Dame Jonathan, like other family members of former Presidents and other designated principal officers of government, are officially entitled to the usage of airport VIP and protocol lounges under the management of FAAN."</div>

Delta Airlines Reaffirms Commitment To Safety, Comfort and Reliability

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>LAGOS, NIGERIA - Delta has served the Nigerian market since 2007. We are the only airline to operate year-round nonstop service between Nigeria and the U.S. and we are committed to Lagos and our customers in this market. We operate a Boeing 767-300 (ER) on this route. It's a popular aircraft type with the majority of customers, particularly those flying in the Main Cabin on long-haul flights, because of its window/aisle configuration. More than 85% of the seats are either a window or an aisle seat.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The B767-300(ER) planes that we use on the Lagos route also rotate to serve other destinations around Delta’s international network including London Heathrow, Los Angeles and Brussels. This means that the onboard product to and from Lagos is exactly the same as enjoyed by customers flying on any Delta 767-300 aircraft flying throughout our international network. This includes fully flat-bed seats in Delta One; additional legroom and recline in Comfort +; and seat pitches of up to 33 inches in the Main Cabin. Additionally, Delta is the only U.S. airline to offer individual in-seat entertainment at every passengers' seat on every international flight. We will also be introducing Wi-Fi to our Lagos flights in the coming months.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We've listened to our customers and have made adjustments to the service we offer, both on the ground and in the air such as a generous baggage allowance and special services on the ground. We have also adapted our on board meal offerings to better suit the preferences of customers flying to and from Nigeria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Delta has an impeccable safety record for its operations worldwide, including those in Nigeria. When delays occur, Delta deeply regrets the inconvenience this causes to passengers’ journeys when they are flying with us. Such is Delta’s commitment to Nigeria that during the recent fuel shortages at the airport, we put contingency measures in place to refuel in either Accra or Dakar in order to maintain our Lagos operations. We know that people’s time is valuable whether their travel is for business or for pleasure and operating on schedule is equally as important to Delta. However, these delays currently caused by these refueling stops cannot be avoided.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On occasion other external factors can cause unavoidable disruptions to our service such as changing weather patterns or mechanical faults. In these instances, we may need to make operational decisions that affect our service because Delta will not compromise on the safety or security of our Passengers and crew. We realize that this can cause regrettable delays to our customers’ journeys, however the safety and security of our passengers can crew remains our number one priority.</div>
