NCAA warns private jet owners against engaging in commercial flight operations

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has warned holders of Permits for Non-Commercial Flight (PNCF) otherwise known as private jet owners to desist from engaging in commercial flight operations forthwith or face stiff penalties.

In line with the NCAA laws, holders of PNCF are not permitted to use their aircraft for Carriage of Passengers Cargo or Mail for Hire or Reward that is, commercial operations or charter services.

According to Section 32 (4) of the Civil Aviation Act 2022, the NCAA vowed that it “will not hesitate to initiate enforcement actions against any PNCF holder found guilty of illegal operations with suspension, withdrawal or revocation of their Permit for Non-Commercial flight.”

The regulatory body however warned the public against engaging PNCF holders for commercial purposes, describing such a move as illegal.

NCAA officials have therefore been deployed to the General Aviation Terminals (GAT) and private wings of the airports to henceforth monitor activities of the PNCF holders.

The NCAA equally restated its zero tolerance for violations of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations 2023 hence, promised to continue to enforce strict compliance through the application of appropriate sanctions.
