The regulatory body enlisted the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) to lead the safety investigation into the Ibadan Airport incident. Simultaneously, the NCAA initiated an economic inquiry into Mattini Airline Services Limited’s aircraft operation, specifically scrutinizing the terms and conditions of the PNCF as outlined in its documents.
Citing Section 32 (4) of the Civil Aviation Act 2022, the NCAA suspended the PNCF (Private Non-Commercial Flight) of Mattini Airline Services Limited. This suspension will endure until a determination is made that the conditions of the PNCF have been adhered to.
Addressing the public, the NCAA assured its unwavering commitment to safety and the enforcement of global best practices. The move follows a press conference where the acting Director-General of NCAA, Chris Najomo, emphasized that private jet owners operating commercial services risk losing their licenses for non-compliance. The regulatory body is set to conduct sting operations to ensure strict adherence to safety regulations.
