The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has clarified that it did not suspend or halt Arik Air’s flight operations, which continued as scheduled and did not affect the airline’s ability to operate its remaining fleet.
The Authority made this clarification in a statement signed and forwarded to journalists in Abuja by Mr Michael Achimugu, the NCAA Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection.
According to Achimugu, NCAA is duty-bound to comply with the court order attaching Arik Air’s aircraft (5NMJF, 5NMJQ, and 5NBKX) following determination of its case at the Supreme Court and to ensure compliance with regulatory and safety standards.
