NCAA Grants Premium Airline, Xejet AOC
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has granted an Air Operators Certificate (AOC) to Xejet after completion of its certification processes.
The new entrant received the operational document at the NCAA office at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, recently.
Capt. Musa Nuhu, the Director-General of NCAA, during the presentation of the AOC said: “I must say, to go through this certification process is not an easy thing. I am aware that effectively this process took almost 1 year? Having gone through this process, we are elated and delighted because what that means is that you have brought yourself to compliance in conformity with our regulations. The issuance of this certificate means that you have complied with the requirements.”
The Director General, who was represented by Engr. Godwin Balang, the General Manager, Air Operators Certification and Surveillance emphasised that, “This is one of the critical element of the activities we are required to do as an authority which is certification. Now you are going to go into business. Immediately we give you this certificate, what we expect is that you keep to those standards.”
Capt. Toyin Lawani, the Certification Project Manager also persuaded the new airline to put up good operation going into business.
