The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) is taking steps to address the growing issue of flight delays and cancellations affecting domestic airlines.
Acting Director General Captain Chris Najomo has scheduled a meeting with airline CEOs in Lagos to discuss these challenges.
Additionally, the NCAA has directed the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) to provide daily weather reports directly to its consumer protection department.
This measure aims to verify claims made by airlines regarding weather-related disruptions.
The NCAA has also initiated enforcement actions against five airlines, marking a rare move by its consumer protection unit in over a decade.
These efforts reflect the agency’s resolve to ensure improved accountability and passenger welfare.
In a related development, Nigeria’s aviation sector is seeing progress in addressing long-standing challenges, such as capacity issues and operational limitations at sunset airports.
Authorities are focusing on upgrading infrastructure, including instrument landing systems, to enhance operational efficiency.
Passengers and stakeholders are urged to remain optimistic as reforms continue in the sector.
