Azman Air is set to resume operations after getting the go ahead from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). This comes after the airline complied with safety recommendations from the regulator and effectively carried out the Corrective Action Plan (CAP).

The news was divulged by Azman Air via a tweet in which the airline reiterated its commitment to maintaining safety standards for its passengers and crew:

“Having satisfactorily undergone the safety audit and implemented the Corrective Action Plan as recommended by the regulatory body (NCAA), we are pleased to inform the general public that the suspension is hereby lifted. This was confirmed in a meeting held between the Management of Azman Air and NCAA on May 1, 2021. The underlying purpose of this journey is safety and we can assure the general public that we are committed to raising the standard when it comes to safety of crew, equipment and passengers”, the tweet read.

The Director General of NCAA, Capt. Musa Nuhu on his part, said in a recent interview that it is the NCAA’s job to ensure the safety of operators by guiding them to comply with safety regulations. He applauded Azman Air for its compliance, calling the airline’s attitude “encouraging and very positive”.

It can be recalled that Azman Air’s operations were suspended by the NCAA on March 15, 2021 over safety concerns. The carrier is now set to take to the skies once again, and promises the flying public a “new experience” going forward.
