adsThe Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has temporarily suspended the enforcement of its “No Pay, No Service” directive against 11 domestic airlines over outstanding statutory remittances, citing the rising cost of aviation fuel and the need to preserve stability in the country’s aviation sector.

The regulatory authority disclosed this in a statement issued on Monday, explaining that the decision followed extensive consultations with stakeholders and a review of the operational realities facing domestic carriers.

The NCAA, however, stressed that the suspension does not amount to a waiver, cancellation, or forgiveness of the debts owed by the affected operators.

It stated that all airlines involved remain fully responsible for settling their outstanding obligations, adding that the authority would continue structured engagements with the operators to ensure compliance while avoiding disruptions to air travel services.

The affected airlines include Air Peace Limited, Ibom Air Limited, Arik Air Limited, United Nigeria Airlines, Umza Air, NG Eagle, Max Air Limited, Caverton Helicopters, Overland Airways, Rano Air and ValueJet.adsads
