On Friday, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) annulled the air operator certificates of Eastwind Aviation Logistics Services Limited and Omni-Blu Aviation.
The NCAA stated on its X handle that this action is part of its ongoing efforts to “further sanitize the aviation industry.”

“The Authority has determined that both Omni-Blu Aviation and Eastwind Aviation are in violation of Part 1.2.1.5 of Nig. CARs on Falsification, Reproduction, or Alteration of Applications, Licences, Certificates, Logbooks, Reports, or Records,” the agency said.
“Part 1.2.1.5(b) of Nig. CARs provide the sanction for such fraud as revocation of the certificate.
“Consequently, their respective Air Operator Certificates OBA/AOC/12-15/002 and EAL/AOC/03-24/001 are hereby revoked.”
In October, an Eastwind Aviation helicopter crash-landed in the Atlantic Ocean, carrying eight people, with only one survivor.
Recently, Max Air also suspended its operations for three months after one of its aircraft crash-landed at Mallam Aminu International Airport in Kano.
The incident occurred when the plane lost its landing gear tire during landing.
However, the airline stated that the situation was well-handled, with crew members and passengers safely evacuated and no injuries reported.
The NCAA noted that Max Air’s suspension would allow the airline to review its internal operations.
