Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has vowed to revoke the licence of domestic airline operators over failure to adhere with the COVID-19 protocols of the Federal Government.
Musa Nuhu, The NCAA Director General in a letter issued a warning to all operators (DG39/20) with reference NCAA/DG/AIR/11/16/267, dated Sept. 21, on Monday in Lagos.
NCAA said the title of the letter was “Non-Compliance with COVID-19 Protocols’’.
Some domestic airlines had been flouting the protocols because the warning was necessary. Nuhu said.
Farther, he said that continuity in that line would attract severe penalties, as well as revocation of approval.
He stated: “It has been brought to the notice of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority that some domestic airline operators have not been complying with the COVID-19 protocols.
“These protocols were released through All Operators Letter (AOL) DG035/20 ref. NCAA/DG/AIR/ 11/16/260, dated Sept. 4 and an Advisory Circular (AC) NCAA-AC-AMS-006, also dated Sept. 4.
“Approval for resumption of domestic operations are predicated on compliance with the above protocols.”
Top-up that he is warning all domestic operators who were not in compliance to abstain from such acts quickly.
