Captain Najomo highlighted the Authority’s ongoing reforms – ranging from simplified certification processes to the adoption of digital innovations – designed to enhance efficiency without compromising safety.
He stated that the issuance of the AOC reflected the NCAA’s steadfast dedication to ensuring that only qualified, safety-conscious operators are allowed to function within Nigeria’s airspace.
“This certificate is not just an approval; it is a testament to the NCAA’s commitment to upholding the highest levels of safety and professionalism in the aviation sector,” he said.
In his remarks, Director of MCM Jets, Mr Jide Ogundare, expressed profound appreciation to the NCAA for its professionalism and guidance throughout the certification process.
