NCAA Suspends All Wet-leased Aircraft in United Nigeria Airlines

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has suspended all the wet-leased aircraft in the operations of United Nigeria Airlines (UNA).

The suspension is said to be connected with the diversion of the Abuja bound flight from Lagos to Asaba Airport on Sunday by the cabin crew of the airline.

A source close to the agency, said on Monday that the regulatory body took the decisive action on after an emergency meeting held at its headquarters in Abuja.

VOP Business desk gathered that at the meeting, the NCAA inspectors were not convinced about the claim of the airline that its crew diverted to Asaba following the bad weather situation at Abuja Airport.

economists have cautioned the apex bank from making some mistakes made during the last recapitalisation of commercial banks in the country.

VOP Business also gtathered that all the wet-leased aircraft in its fleet would remain suspended until after the conclusion of the investigation into the incident.

The NCAA’s decision has been communicated to the airline via a letter on Monday.
