Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) Revokes Licenses of Two Aviation Operators
Oru Leonard
In a bid to sanitize the aviation industry, the NCAA has revoked the Air Operator Certificates of Eastwind Aviation Logistics Services Limited and Omni-Blu Aviation. This decision comes after the authority found both operators in violation of Part 1.2.1.5 of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig. CARs), which prohibits falsification, reproduction, or alteration of applications, licenses, certificates, logbooks, reports, or records.
The revoked certificates include OBA/AOC/12-15/002 and EAL/AOC/03-24/001, effectively grounding the operations of both companies. This move underscores the NCAA’s commitment to upholding strict safety and regulatory standards within the aviation industry.²
Omni-Blu Aviation, a Lagos-based helicopter service provider, and Eastwind Aviation, a global commercial aviation services provider, have been operating in the Nigerian Oil & Gas and Government sectors. However, their licenses have been revoked due to non-compliance with regulatory provisions.
The NCAA has reiterated its commitment to monitoring licensed operators closely and taking necessary actions against any entity found violating regulatory provisions.
