NCAA Takes Action: Suspends Licenses of 10 Private Jet Operators

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has suspended the licenses of 10 private jet operators for failing to begin the recertification process.

This decision was announced in a statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mr. Michael Achimugu, on Friday in Abuja.

According to the NCAA, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations 2023 Part 18.3.4 prohibits holders of Permits for Non-Commercial Flights (PNCF) from using their aircraft for the carriage of passengers, cargo, or mail for hire or reward, which constitutes commercial operations or charter services.

“Due to the flagrant disregard of this rule, the NCAA had earlier directed all holders of PNCF to undergo re-evaluation, which should have been concluded by April 19, 2024,” the statement said.

As a result, the NCAA has suspended the PNCF of the following operators:

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 public is advised that it is illegal to engage PNCF holders for commercial purposes. The NCAA will not hesitate to initiate enforcement actions against any PNCF holder found guilty of illegal operations.

The NCAA has also deployed officials to General Aviation Terminals and private wings of airports to monitor the activities of PNCF holders.
