NCAA Cracks Down on Airlines: Sanctions for Flight Delays Explained
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has announced plans to impose sanctions on airlines responsible for frequent flight delays and disruptions in the country.
This decision comes after a rise in complaints about poor handling of passengers, including delays and schedule changes, especially during the high travel season.
NCAA officials have emphasized that airlines must better align their flight schedules with their aircraft availability and address issues such as the timely operation of flights into airports with sunset restrictions.
The NCAA has also increased surveillance to ensure that airlines comply with aviation regulations and handle passengers with dignity, particularly those with reduced mobility. Airlines failing to meet these standards could face significant penalties.
