Aero contractos, First Nation, are not folding up- NCAA says
Authorities
at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority NCAA have come out to debunk reports
that airlines, Aero contractors and First Nation, were folding up. This rumor
followed the suspension of operations by both airlines. The Director-General of
the NCAA, Capt. Muhtar Usman, in a statement released today, said the decision
for the airlines to suspend their operations was taken so as to ensure that
they carried out the required maintenance of their aircrafts.
“The First Nation Airlines on its part is in the
middle of an Engine Replacement Programme for one of its aircrafts. Another
aircraft is due for mandatory maintenance as allowed by the regulatory
authority.
In these circumstances, these airlines clearly
cannot continue to undertake schedule operations, hence the inevitable recourse
to self regulatory suspension.”
NCAA boss maintained that both airlines had not folded up but
that they were “merely suspending their operations temporarily to enable them
undertake certain operational overhaul and strengthen their overall operational
outlay.”
