Flight disruptions: NCAA warns AirPeace - ITREALMS

ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

The Director-General, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Capt. Chris Najomo, has directed Air Peace to immediately improve its domestic operations owing to avalanche of complaints on flight delays and cancellations by the travelling public, reports ITREALMS.

Najomo gave the charge last Friday, at a meeting with some management staff of Nigeria's largest domestic operator in Abuja, AirPeace, and strongly advised the airline to trim its operations to the size of available aircraft presently in its fleet to mitigate the crisis.

The airline representatives at the meeting acknowledged that it has some challenges that are not unusual in the industry, but they are working round the clock to fix them.

The DGCA asserted that, while the NCAA will continue to support the airlines, the operators MUST comply with the regulations and global best practices.

Capt. Najomo warned that the NCAA is increasing its monitoring of flight operations across all airlines to ensure compliance.
