NCAA renews Azman Air’s licence as airline resumes operations

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has renewed the Air Transport Licence (ATL) of Azman Air, following fulfillment of all outstanding requirements.

The renewal was disclosed in a document signed by the NCAA Director-General, Capt. Musa Nuhu, a copy of which was obtained on Friday.

The document, with reference number NCAA/ATR1/ATL118, indicated that it would be valid for a five year period from 2022 through 2027.

It would be recalled that NCAA, on Thursday, suspended Azman Air over the airline’s inability to renew its ATL, among other issues.

Nuhu said the renewal of the ATL would enable the airline to resume flight operations.

“The licence to operate the scheduled and non-scheduled passenger and cargo air services within and outside Nigeria is hereby granted, pursuant to Section 18.2.2.3 and Section 18.2.2.4 of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations 2015,” the document read in part.

It indicated that this is for the period of five years, from September 16, 2022, to September 15, 2027.

It said the utilisation of the licence should be in compliance with all relevant Civil Aviation Regulations.
