The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) says it has approved the commencement of domestic flight operations by Enugu Air, as the new airline has designated XEJET as its operational partner pending the conclusion of its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) process.
This was contained in a statement signed by Michael Achimugu, NCAA Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection which reads in part; “Pursuant to this partnership, XEJET has completed a full variation process to integrate the EMB 170 aircraft into its Operations Specifications (OpsSpecs), in accordance with NCAA’s five-phase certification procedure,”
“As such, XEJET is duly authorised to operate scheduled commercial flights on behalf of Enugu Air under current NCAA guidelines.”
“In line with the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development’s 5-Point Agenda aimed at promoting the growth of indigenous airlines, and the DGCAs mantra enhancing ease of doing business, and deepening sectoral reforms.”
“In the interim, ticket sales for Enugu Air flights is facilitated via the XEJET platform, accessible through a redirect on the Enugu Air official website.
“The NCAA remains committed to enabling a supportive regulatory environment for indigenous carriers, ensuring fair competition, and upholding the highest standards of safety, security and consumer protection in Nigeria’s air transport industry,” Achimugu added.
