‘Poor regulations, enforcement as bane of illegal charter operations’

Ministerial Task Force on Illegal Private Charter Operations has identified poor regulations and inadequate enforcement of standard guidelines on general aviation services.
The committee, led by Captains Ado Sanusi and Roland Iyayi, fingered the same old loopholes of the Permit for Non-Commercial Flight (PNCF) system, inadequate oversight, and security vulnerabilities at major airports.

It would be recalled that the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has threatened to shut down the Abuja Airport’s General Aviation Terminal (GAT), which is allegedly the most complicit of the infractions.

However, the problem is not new. Some four years ago, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) raised similar complaints, though with high expectations that the pending Civil Aviation Act would address irregularities in the sector, especially the sharp practices by private jet operators.

The then Director-General of the CAA, Capt. Musa Nuhu, had said business aircraft in the country are 95, out of which 72 are still not registered in Nigeria, violating the extant rules.
