Fresh concerns as NCAA rejects Nigeria Air's certification request

 Fresh concerns have been raised over the future of Nigeria Air, the country's national carrier, after the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) rejected its application to proceed to phase two of the Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) certification process.

In a letter to the management of Nigeria Air, the NCAA said that the application did not include the formal application form and the necessary documents required for the certification process.

The letter, which was signed by the NCAA Director-General, Captain Musa Nuhu, said that the certification process cannot progress to phase two without these required documents.

The development has raised fresh concerns about the viability of Nigeria Air, which has been plagued by delays and controversy since its inception.

The airline was first announced in 2018, but it was not until 2022 that the government finally took delivery of its first aircraft.

However, the airline's launch has been delayed several times, and it is still unclear when it will begin operations.

The NCAA's rejection of Nigeria Air's certification request is a major setback for the airline, and it is unclear how it will be able to overcome this latest hurdle.

The airline has said that it is committed to obtaining its AOC and that it will continue to work with the NCAA to ensure that it meets all of the necessary requirements.

However, it remains to be seen whether Nigeria Air will be able to overcome the challenges that it faces and become a viable commercial airline.

The following are some of the challenges that Nigeria Air faces:

  • Financial challenges: The airline has been struggling to raise the necessary funds to start operations.
  • Operational challenges: The airline has been facing challenges in terms of securing landing slots and acquiring aircraft.
  • Regulatory challenges: The airline has been facing challenges from the NCAA, which has been reluctant to grant it the necessary approvals.

Despite these challenges, Nigeria Air has said that it is committed to starting operations and that it will be a success.

Only time will tell whether Nigeria Air will be able to overcome the challenges that it faces and become a viable commercial airline.
