The Director-General of Civil Aviation, Capt. Chris Najomo, has directed Air Peace to immediately improve its domestic operations due to chronic flight delays and cancellations. The airline has been advised to adjust its operations to match its available aircraft fleet to mitigate the crisis.

The DGCA gave the charge on Friday in a heated meeting with some management staff of Nigeria’s largest domestic operator in Abuja.

The airline representatives at the meeting acknowledged that it has some challenges that are not unusual in the industry, but they are working round the clock to fix them.

The DGCA asserted that, while the NCAA will continue to support the airlines, the operators MUST comply with the regulations and global best practices.

Capt. Najomo warned that the NCAA is increasing its monitoring of flight operations across all airlines to ensure compliance.
