The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has suspended ten private jet operations for failing to initiate the recertification process required for holders of the Permit for Non-Commercial Flights (PNCF). The NCAA had directed all PNCF holders to undergo re-evaluation by April 19, 2024. This directive was issued to ensure compliance with the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations 2023 Part 18.3.4, which prohibits PNCF holders from using their aircraft for commercial operations such as carrying passengers, cargo, or mail for hire or reward.

The affected companies include:
– Azikel Dredging Nigeria Ltd
– Bli-Aviation Safety Services
– Ferry Aviation Developments Ltd
– Matrix Energy Ltd
– Marrietta Management Services Ltd
– Worldwide Skypaths Services
– Mattini Airline Services Ltd
– Aero Lead Ltd
– Sky Bird Air Ltd
– Ezuma Jets Ltd

Michael Achimugu, the NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, emphasized that engaging PNCF holders for commercial purposes is illegal and warned that the NCAA would take enforcement actions against any PNCF holder found guilty of such illegal operations. To ensure compliance, NCAA officials have been deployed to General Aviation Terminals (GAT) and private wings of airports to monitor the activities of PNCF holders.
