The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), on Thursday, suspended Azman Air over its failure to renew its Air Operator Certificate (AOC).

Thelagostimes gathered that the suspension is coming few months after the NCAA suspended the AOC of Dana Air over frequent incidents.

It was also gathered that the AOC of the airline had expired in the first quarter of 2022 and the regulatory agency, through its inspectors, had been working with the airline for the renewal process, which the airline consistently failed.

It was also gathered that before the regulatory agency suspended the operating license of the airline, the Directorate of Air Transport Regulation (DATR), a department in NCAA, had written a reminder letter to the management of Azman Air and issued it 30-daysultimatum to comply with the industry standards.

This development led to massive chaos at the nation’s airports as passengers who had earlier booked with the airline to travel to various destinations are currently stranded.
