Breaking news NCAA lifts Azman Airlines suspensions

 

Nigeria domestic airline, Azman Air, has renewed its License, ATL following the expiration of the document, along with non payment of legacy debt.

This is coming barely 24 hours after the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, suspend the airlines operations over failure to renew its ATL, and N1.2 billion legacy debt accrued from the 5 percent Ticket Sales Charge and Cargo Sales Charge (TSC/CSC), which was collected from air travellers and cargo operators.

Following the renewal, the airline can commence its scheduled operations.

Vanguard gathered that the airline had also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) of N50 million monthly on the repayment of its legacy debt.

A breakdown of the debt shows that the 5 percent TSC/CSC is shared among five aviation agencies; NCAA, Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMET) and the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT), Zaria.

NCAA gets 58 percent from the total five percent, of charges, the other four agencies share the remaining 42 per cent in different proportions.
