Why We Sanctioned 5 Airlines — NCAA

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, (NCAA) has clarified that the sanctions initiated against five airlines recently were for consumer protection-related infractions, and not for safety concerns.

This reaction follows some media report suggesting that the airlines may have been sanctioned for much more than just flight disruption issues.

In a statement sent in by NCAA’s Director of Consumer Protection and Public Affairs, Michael Achimugu, he said, “Even the DGCA publicly announced at a stakeholders’ meeting in Lagos, the names of the airlines, and the reasons for the enforcement actions.

“My department is strictly for consumer protection issues, not technical matters. So why would anyone think that I can sanction an airline for safety reasons?

“It is important to note that we do not sensationalise serious issues. The department protects both the operators and passengers and will continue to be an unbiased umpire,” he concluded.

Recall that two weeks ago, Achimugu, issued a warning that any airline that delays the payment of refunds to passengers within the stipulated time frame in Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023, will be sanctioned.

A week later, the regulatory agency announced that it had initiated enforcement action against Royal Air Maroc, Ethiopian Airways, Air Peace, Arik Air, and Aero Contractors.

Furthermore, the Acting Director-General of NCAA, Capt. Chris Najomo called an emergency stakeholders’ meeting to find lasting solutions to flight delays and cancellations, where he advised operators to trim their operations according to the number of aircraft they have and to treat consumer complaints with the desired urgency.

Reacting to the announcement, Chairman of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, said he had been noticed that some of his finance staff actually delayed some payments, saying he was not happy about it as his vision does not align with any practice that inconveniences his passengers.

 

He accepted the NCAA’s enforcement action and said that the airline would improve its response time to such complaints.
