March 13, (THEWILL) – The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has warned private jet owners (holders of Permit for Non-Commercial Flight, PNCF) to desist from engaging in commercial flight operations forthwith or face stiff penalties.

In an official statement issued on Wednesday and signed by NCAA’s Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, the regulatory body stated that holders of PNCF are not permitted to use their aircraft for carriage of passengers, cargo or mail for hire or reward (commercial operations or charter services).

The agency emphasised that “in line with Section 32 (4) of the Civil Aviation Act 2022, the NCAA will not hesitate to initiate enforcement actions against any PNCF holder found guilty of illegal operations with suspension, withdrawal or revocation of their Permit for Non-Commercial flight.

“The NCAA wishes to restate its zero tolerance for violations of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations 2023 and shall continue to enforce strict compliance through the application of appropriate sanctions,” the statement added.
