NCAA revokes licences of two air operators

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has revoked the Air Operator Certificates of Eastwind Aviation Logistics Services Limited and Omni-Blu Aviation.

NCAA announced the decision in a post on X on Friday.

The post reads, “The Authority has determined that both Omni-Blu Aviation and Eastwind Aviation are in violation of Part 1.2.1.5 of Nig. CARs on Falsification, Reproduction, or Alteration of Applications, Licences, Certificates, Logbooks, Reports, or Records.

“Part 1.2 1.5(b) of Nig. CARs provide the sanction for such fraud as revocation of the certificate.

“Consequently, the respective Air Operator Certificates OBA/AOC/12-15/002 and EAL/AOC/03-24/001 are hereby revoked.”

Recall that on October 24, 2024, a helicopter operated by Eastwind Aviation Logistics Services Limited crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near Bonny Finima, Rivers State, with no survivors.
