 NCAA issues enhanced operations  specifications to airlines 

 


The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has issued enhanced Air Operator Certificate (AOC) Operations Specifications (Op.Specs) to all current AOC holders.

According to its Director Genetal, Captain Musa Nuhu , the authority considered  it imperative to issue the new OpSpecs with the validity of the previous AOC and Op. Specs retained.

The directive is contained in an All 0perator Letter referenced NCAA/DG/AIR/11/16/370 dated 18th August, 2023 and  applicable to holders certificated by the authority, and personally signed by the Director General of Civil Aviation.

Recall that NCAA published the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig. CARs) 2023 which came into effect on 10th July 2023 and subsection 9.1.1.7 of Nig. CARs Part 9, the NCAA redesigned the layout and format of the Operations Specifications associated with the AOC.

These new and enhanced multi-paged Op.Specs contain the authorizations, conditions, limitations and approvals issued by the Authority in accordance with the standards which are applicable to operations and maintenance conducted by the AOC holder.

In view of the above directive, all AOC holders are required to electronically complete the appropriate pages of the attached Op.Specs and return same to the NCAA via only email addresses indicated below on or before 23rd August, 2023.

The authority wishes to enjoin all current Air Operator Certificate (AOC) holders to comply accordingly.
