The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on
Tuesday suspended the Air Operators Certificate
(AOC) of Discovery Airways Ltd. over its failure to
carry out some corrective measures.
The Deputy General Manager, Public Relations of
the NCAA, Mr Samuel Adurogboye, told reporters in
Ikeja that the suspension took effect from Jan. 8.
Adurogboye said that the order would be in force,
pending the outcome of a comprehensive review of
the airline’s operations to be carried out
accordingly.
``The NCAA has lately carried out a review of the
operations of some domestic airlines after which
letters of warning or suspension of AOC were
served on defaulters.
``A case in point is an airline that failed to carry out
certain corrective actions within one week from
Jan. 1 to Jan. 7 as raised in an earlier letter to the
operator.
``Consequently, upon the inability to address the
issue raised, the authority in its Jan. 8 letter to the
operator declared that pursuant to Section 35(2)
and 3(b) of the Civil Aviation Act 2006 and Part
1.1.3.3.3(a)(1) of the Nigeria Civil Aviation
Regulations 2009, it hereby suspends the AOC of
Discovery Airways Ltd.’’ he said.
The spokesman noted that the NCAA had no desire
to regulate any airline out of existence; however, it
viewed any violation of safety regulations seriously.
A senior official of Discovery Airways, who pleaded
anonymity, disclosed that the company’s
management was already looking into the issue
with the regulatory authority.

This failed airline is yet to refund my 19k for a cancelled flight on xmas day. The idiotic staffers just refused to show up at the airport on that day and refused to pick their calls even from the ncaa and faan officials

Good move to avoid stories that touches the heart.......
