The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) last week barred 21
foreign registered privately operated aircraft from engaging in any form of
commercial flight operations in the country.
Fan Ndubuoke, spokesperson for NCAA told journalists that the ban was
in line with a recent Federal Government directive, which prohibited the use of
such private aircraft by operators or owners for “hire and reward” purposes.
According to him, the listed aircraft had earlier been issued with
Flight Operations Clearance Certificate (FOCC) and Maintenance Clearance
Certificate ( MCC), by the NCAA.
Ndubuoke listed the operators to include Air First, ANAP Business
Jets, ATT Aviation Support Limited, AVJET Corporation, BUA Group Limited,
Chrome Air, Delmon Aviation./C&K and Dominion Air.
Others are EAN Aviation Limited, Executive Jets, Ferry Aviation Dev.
Service, Gitto Construzioni, Grenfact Ventures Limited, Gyro Air limited, NAMCO
Nigeria Limited, Orleans Invest West Africa, Prime Air, Project Eagle Air
Limited, Southern Air, SWAT Technology Limited, Tag Aviation Limited and
Toucan Aviation Support.
“The use of these operators’ aircraft for commercial operations shall
be in violation of the Nigeria CARs 9.1.1.4(a)(b) and will attract appropriate
sanctions from the authority,” Ndubuoke said.
