The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has warned holders of Permit for Non-Commercial Flight (PNCF) (private jet owners) to desist from engaging in commercial flight operations forthwith or face stiff penalties.
Recall that holders of PNCF are not permitted to use their aircraft for Carriage of passengers’ cargo or mail for hire or rewards (commercial operations or charter services)
in line with Section 32 (4) of the Civil Aviation Act 2022.
A statement from the NCAA signed by Michael Achimugu Director of Public Affairs, indicated that the management will not hesitate to initiate enforcement actions against any PNCF holder found guilty of illegal operations with suspension, withdrawal, or revocation of their Permit for Non-Commercial flight.
The statement further reads in parts “The public is hereby notified that it is illegal to engage PNCF holders for commercial purposes.
“NCAA officials have also been deployed to General Aviation Terminals (GAT) and private wings of the airports to monitor the activities of the PNCF holders.
“The NCAA wishes to restate its zero tolerance for violations of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations 2023 and shall continue to enforce strict compliance through the application of appropriate sanctions”.
