NCAA To Present Air Transport License To Nigeria Air Today

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) will present the Air Transport License (ATL) to the interim management of Nigeria Air, the country’s proposed national carrier, today.

The Ministry of Aviation posted this on its official social media pages on Sunday.

The ATL certification precedes the Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) which empowers the airline to operate scheduled commercial flights.

There are indications that the AOC, which is currently under processing and has reached an advanced stage, may be given to the airline by next month.

Capt. Dapo Olumide, a former managing director of the defunct Virgin Nigeria Airways has been appointed as the interim MD of the airline.
