Contaminated Fuel: Max Air Resumes Operations As NCAA Lifts Suspension

Two weeks after the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) suspended Max Air operations over safety concerns, the management of the airline, on Sunday, announced resumption of domestic flight operations.

The airline, in a statement, assured all passengers that the safety issues raised by the regulatory authorities had been addressed.

The statement reads: “Max Air Limited is pleased to announce the resumption of domestic flight operations from Sunday, July 30, 2023, following a temporary suspension due to safety concerns.

“We want to express our gratitude to our valued customers for their understanding and patience during this period.

“Safety is at the core of MaxAir Limited’s values, and we take our commitment to passenger safety with the utmost seriousness. After conducting a thorough internal investigation, it was brought to our attention that our operations were impacted by adulterated fuel.

“As a result, we promptly initiated an in-house audit and, in the interest of passenger safety, voluntarily suspended our operations for two days before the intervention of the NCAA.

“We would like to reassure all our passengers that we have been working diligently to address the safety concerns raised during this suspension period.

“We understand the importance of your travel plans and the trust you place in Max Air Limited. We apologize for any disruption caused. We look forward to serving you again and thank you for your unwavering support.”
