The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has banned Ethiopian Airlines alongside four other carriers for breaching passenger rights, APA can report

Ethiopian Airlines, Africa’s largest and most prestigious carrier was sanctioned in violations of NCAA regulations under Part 19, which govern passenger rights.

The authority in a statement said the ban marked a significant regulatory intervention aimed at safeguarding air travelers during the peak holiday season.

The Ethiopian airlines is accused of failing to process refunds within stipulated timelines, mishandling and short-landing baggage, and not responding promptly to directives issued by the NCAA.

As a flagship airline in Africa known for its global reach and operational excellence, Ethiopian Airlines’ inclusion in the NCAA’s enforcement action has raised eyebrows.

The NCAA has made clear that even leading international carriers like Ethiopian Airlines are not exempt from regulatory compliance.

“We are committed to protecting passengers and ensuring airlines adhere to the rules,” Michael Achimugu, the NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection was quoted as saying during a press conference in Abuja.

This news sweet my belle. Once had a stop over in Addis Ababa many years back. I flew Ethiopian airlines. I had a Nigerian passport and another seperate passport. Those who had other countries passports were sent to a better hotel than those with a Nigerian passport.

I resolved that day to always fly direct to Lagos...no matter the cost.

Qatar Airways, Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines..never ever again.

No, if you book a banned airline, the aircraft will come pick you up from your house and fly you to the exact building you want to go in that country.

Ipob and brains are enemies.
