Poor flight Operations-Senate Summons Aviation Minister, NCAA, Airlines

The Senate on Wednesday summoned the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace, Festus Keyamo and the Director General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, Captain Chris Najomo, over poor flight operations in the country.

Airline operators and other relevant stakeholders in the aviation industry were also summoned over incessant delayed and cancelled flights in the country.

Adopting a motion to that effect sponsored by Senator AbdulFatai Buhari (APC Oyo North) during plenary, the Red Chamber particularly charged its Committee on Aviation to unravel the circumstances behind the incessant flight delays and cancellations with a view to finding lasting solutions to the problem.

Buhari, while presenting the motion, said the problem which he noted had been on the increase in recent times, is well publicized.

“This development is worrisome as air travel is one of the most reliable, dependable and quicker means of transportation, often undertaken for business/official purposes and to keep other scheduled appointments, which are usually time-bound,” he said.

The senator cautioned that “unwarranted flight delays and cancellations will be counterproductive to the socio-economic growth and development of this country”.

The lawmaker noted that as part of interventionist measures to check unethical and unwholesome practices of the practitioners in the aviation sector, the NCAA is statutory empowered through the enactment of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Act, to among other things, provide oversight and guidelines aimed at ensuring that airlines operate within the contemplation of international standards in Nigeria and to ensure that customers get value for the services paid for.

Buhari pointed out that “the quest for economic diversification and foreign direct investment, which are parts of the current administration’s policy thrust, will remain an illusion if the country’s aviation industry falls short of the acceptable best practices across the globe”.

“Part 19 of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority Regulations of 2023, makes provisions for consumer protection in the civil aviation industry in Nigeria.

“However, enforcement has been an issue as most Nigerians are not even aware that they are entitled to compensation for time lost due to unnecessary delay, hence the need for the NCAA to activate this aspect of its regulation so that airline operators will sit up and be alive to their responsibilities,” he said.
