FLIGHT DISRUPTIONS: NCAA SUMMONS AIR PEACE

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has told the management of Air Peace to immediately improve on its domestic operations due to complaints of flight delays and cancellations by the travelling public. NCAA Director General, Capt. Chris Najomo, who issued the directive, strongly advised the airline to trim its operations to the size of available aircraft presently in its fleet to mitigate the crisis. Capt. Najomo gave the charge on Friday, May 2, 2025, during a heated meeting with some management staff of Nigeria's largest domestic operator in Abuja. The airline representatives at the meeting acknowledged that it has some challenges that are not unusual in the industry, which they said efforts are being made to fix them. However, the NCAA Director General asserted that airline operators must comply with regulations and global best practices, while the agency would continue to support the airlines. Capt. Chris Najomo assured that NCAA was increasing its monitoring of flight operations across all airlines to ensure compliance.
