Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has suspended licences of three Permits for Non-Commercial Flight (PNCF), otherwise known as private jet owners, over alleged failure to comply with regulatory requirements.

Acting Director-General of NCAA, Capt. Chris Najomo disclosed this to newsmen today in Lagos.

Najomo said that after issuing a stern warning to the PNCFs in March, the authority deployed its men to monitor the activities of private jet owners at airport terminals across the country.

He said that consequent upon the heightened surveillance, three private operators were found to have violated the annexure provisions of their PNCF and Part 9114 of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations, 2023.

Najomo further stated that the NCAA would be carrying out a re-evaluation of regulatory requirements compliance of all PNCF owners within the next 72 hours. This, he said, was in line with the authority’s zero tolerance for violations of regulations.
