NCAA suspends ten operators for not complying with recertification process

Published by

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations 2023 Part 18.3.4 forbids holders of PNCF from using their aircraft for CARRIAGE OF PASSENGERS, CARGO or MAIL for HIRE or REWARD (commercial operation or charter services).

As a result of the flagrant disregard of the 2023 Part 18.3.4 forbidding holders of Permit For Non-Commercial Flights
(PNCF) from using their aircraft for Carriage Of Passengers, Cargo, or Mail for Hire or Reward (commercial operation or charter services) rule, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has clamped down on ten erring operators.

Following the recalcitrant behaviour of the affected operators, the NCAA has suspended the PNCF of operators namely: Azikel Dredging Nigeria Ltd, Bli-Aviation Safety Services, Ferry Aviation Developments Ltd, Matrix Energy Ltd, Marrietta Management Services Ltd, Worldwide Skypaths Services, Mattini Airline Services Ltd, Aero Lead Ltd, Sky Bird Air Ltd, and Ezuma Jets Ltd.

The latest development is coming after the regulatory body had earlier directed all holders of PNCF to undergo re-evaluation which should have been concluded by the 19th of April 2024.

In a statement issued by the director of public affairs and consumer protection at the NCAA, Michael Achimugu, the NCAA declared: “The public is hereby notified that it is illegal to engage PNCF holders for commercial purposes. The NCAA will not hesitate to initiate enforcement actions against any PNCF holder found guilty of illegal operations.

“Furthermore, NCAA officials have been deployed to General Aviation Terminals (GAT) and private wings of the airports to monitor activities of the PNCF holders.”
