The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has sanctioned Saudi Airlines with a N6million fine over consumer protection-related infractions, saying the penalty became necessary after the airline failed to fully comply with regulatory directives.
The announcement was made on Friday by the NCAA's Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, in a statement shared via his X handle.
According to Achimugu, the authorities had previously intervened to support the airline during a tense situation at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja a few months ago, helping to avert violence involving affected passengers.
He added that the NCAA also granted the airline additional time to resolve several outstanding consumer complaints and comply with regulatory determinations, but said the latest sanction was necessary to enforce the provisions of Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023.
