The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, yesterday imposed what it called an applicable sanction on Aero Contractors Airlines in line with Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations, NCARs, Though, the specific sanction was not revealed but the agency said that it runs into millions of Naira. According to Mr Sam Adurogboye, Ag General Manager, Public Relations, NCAA ,“The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has imposed an applicable sanction on Aero Contractors Airlines in line with Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs).” “In a letter conveying the sanction, the Director General of the Regulatory Authority, Capt. Muhtar Usman, said the action of Aero Contractors Airline in allowing the use of a ladder to disembark passengers from a Boeing 737 – 500 aircraft in a non-emergency situation is contrary to its approved aircraft handling manual.” “Therefore this is a violation of Part 9.2.4.2(b) of Nig.CARs which part attracts a civil penalty. All relevant agencies made useful submissions during the course of the investigation.” http://metropolexpress.com/entertainment/travel/item/5659-ncaa-sanctions-aero-over-shameful-bauchi-airport-ladder-act The DG continued in the letter that, ‘’in view of the safety implications of your action you are hereby sanctioned in accordance with the provisions of Part 20.2.3(15) of the Nig.CARs.’’ “Although the incident did not result in any mishap, the aircraft is airworthy and the Crew well qualified to operate the flight. However, it is viewed as a breach and resultantly a fine running into millions of naira have been clamped on the airline to serve as deterrence and to forestall any similar infraction by any other airline operator.” “In addition, the Captain of the flight was similarly fined for failing to comply with the provisions contained in the aircraft manual.” “The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority ,NCAA, therefore wishes to reiterate its earlier warning that all airlines should endeavour to adhere strictly to Civil Aviation Regulations.

This should deter others from engaging in embarrassing acts but why didn't they disclose the sanction in details? |

They should have sanctioned NAHCO and SAHCOL which are the ground-handling companies that failed to provide the staircase in the first place! This NCAA is misguided, honestly!! 1 Like |

Tequilah: Surely if they are misguided the airline will contest the fine and point them in the right direction or even sue them. The airline initially blamed FAAN |

DisGuy: Hmmn...forgive me if I do not share your optimism. In Nigeria, it is never advisable for an operator to sue the regulator of the industry in which he operates. It hardly ever ends well. Unless the operator wants to kiss his license goodbye. |

Tequilah: MTN is currently in court against NCC, the responsibility is definitely aero's, if not they would have come out to defend this claim! Aero is in contract with NACHO to provide the equipment, the regulators dont have any business with the third party contractors |
