FG Bars Airline Pilots from Holding Multiple Jobs: What It Means for the Industry

Understanding the Implications of FG’s New Rule on Pilots Working for Various Airlines

The Nigerian government’s new directive bars pilots from working for multiple airlines, aiming to boost safety and job stability in the aviation industry.

Previously, many pilots took on additional roles to manage financial strain or fill skill gaps.

However, the policy may limit pilots’ income flexibility and could put pressure on airlines to address pilot shortages.

Critics argue it could reduce available flight personnel, while proponents see it as a positive step for improving work-life balance and enhancing airline accountability for their pilots’ performances.
