All flights to and from different routes have been cancelled.
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, on Thursday, suspended Azman Air over the airline’s inability to renew its Air Operator Certificate.
A check on the website of the airline revealed that all flights to and from different routes have been cancelled.
AOC is an aviation safety instrument that authorises an airline operator to carry out specified commercial air transport operations.
The document issued to Azman Air allowed it to operate as a passenger, cargo, scheduled and charter flight operator. The certificate is renewed every two years in Nigeria by the NCAA.
This development has however led to massive chaos at the nation’s airports as passengers who had hitherto booked with the airline to travel to various destinations are currently stranded.
It was also gathered that before the regulatory agency suspended the operating license of the airline, its Directorate of Air Transport Regulation (DATR) had written a reminder letter to the management of Azman Air and gave it a 30-day ultimatum to comply with the industry standards, but it reportedly failed to comply.
