The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority has directed its directorates to suspend services to 11 domestic airlines, placing them on its updated “No-Pay-No-Service” list over unpaid statutory charges owed to the regulator.
The directive, contained in an internal memo dated May 22, 2026, and obtained by our correspondent on Sunday, ordered all NCAA departments to withhold regulatory and administrative services from the affected operators until they clear their outstanding debts or agree on repayment plans.
At the centre of the dispute are the five per cent Ticket Sales Charge and Cargo Sales Charge, funds collected by airlines on behalf of the NCAA to support safety oversight, personnel training and economic regulation within the aviation sector.
The memo also directed all directorates to suspend services to the affected airlines pending financial clearance from the Directorate of Finance and Accounts.
