The Federal Government has announced that not less than 190 flights were cancelled across Nigeria within the space of two months.
The acting director-general of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, Chris Najomo, said this while decrying the increased rate of flight cancellations in the country.
Najomo while delivering a speech at the
Airlines-NCAA engagement event on Friday said out of 5,291 flights operated in September 2024; 2,434 were delayed while 79 were cancelled.
Also in October 2024, 5,513 flights were operated; 2,791 were delayed while 111 flights were cancelled.
Njaomo said, “Delays and cancellations are sometimes inevitable, but poor management of these disruptions is not.
“I must remind all operators of the NCAA Regulations on Passenger Rights during disruptions, as outlined in the Nigeria Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection) Regulations, 2023 (that) these regulations are not optional; they are mandatory obligations,” Najomo said.
