NCAA Suspends Licenses of 10 Private Jet Operators Over Unauthorized Activities
The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has announced the suspension of licenses for ten private jet operators due to their involvement in unauthorized operational activities. This decisive action underscores the NCAA’s commitment to maintaining stringent regulatory standards and ensuring compliance within the aviation industry.
The affected companies include:
- 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.
- Ezuma Jets Ltd.
The NCAA stated that these operators were found to be conducting activities beyond the scope of their licensed operations, a violation that prompted the regulatory body to intervene. By suspending their licenses, the NCAA aims to enforce adherence to aviation regulations and ensure the safety and security of air travel within Nigeria.
In a statement, the NCAA emphasized its zero-tolerance policy for non-compliance and reiterated its dedication to safeguarding the integrity of the aviation sector. The agency has vowed to continue monitoring and auditing aviation operators to ensure full compliance with established rules and standards.
The suspension is expected to remain in effect until the affected operators rectify the identified issues and demonstrate full compliance with NCAA regulations. This move serves as a stern warning to other aviation operators about the consequences of unauthorized activities and the importance of adhering to the regulatory framework.
The NCAA’s decision reflects its proactive stance in addressing regulatory breaches and its ongoing efforts to foster a safe and secure aviation environment in Nigeria.
