After Suspending 10 Private Jets, NCAA Sends Message To Dangote, Otedola, Other Private Jet Owners
The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has demanded that jet operators holding permits for non-commercial flights (PNCF) submit their technical record by August 2 at the latest.
The Cable reported that airlines employ a technical log to capture any flaws or failures found on aircraft while in flight, as well as specifics of any repair performed in-between planned trips to the base maintenance facility.
The aviation authority stated in a statement on Monday that the operating authorization of jet operators will be suspended for noncompliance with the mandate. The statement was signed by Oyerinde Modupe, the NCAA general manager (GM) of facilitation and economic regulation.
“This is to follow up on the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) previous correspondence regarding the submission of your tech log for the past two (2) years,” the aviation authority said.
“The authority is yet to receive the required documents from you.
“Therefore, in line with part (g) of the conditions attached to your Permit, you are again reminded to forward to the NCAA the Tech Log information of your operations for the last two (2) years by completing the Summary Sheet with details of number of Sectors flown per month per aircraft as indicated in the attached PNCF OPERATIONS TECH LOG FORM.
Those with private jets in the country include Femi Otedola, Allen Onyema, Bishop David Oyedepo, and many others.
