August 11, (THEWILL) – The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has stated the Authority’s determination to ensure the continued sustenance of safe and secure flight operations in the nation’s aviation industry.
Capt. Musa Nuhu, the Director-General of NCAA, in an interview with aviation journalists in Lagos on Thursday, confirmed that the regulatory agency will continue the implementation jobs.
NCAA had in July, suspended the operations of Dana Air’s Transport Licence (ATL) and Air Operator Certificate (AOC) indefinitely because of the outcome of a financial and economic health audit carried out on its operations and the findings of an investigation conducted on the airline’s flight operations recently.
According to NCAA, the airline was no longer in a position to meet its financial obligations and to conduct safe flight operations, adding that its action was made pursuant to Section 35(2), 3(b) and (4) of the Civil Aviation Act, 2006 and Part 1.3.3.3(a)(1) of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs), 2015.
