The Federal Government, through the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, has barred licensed flight crew members from operating multiple airlines. While issuing the restriction, the NCAA said its findings revealed that pilots and other crew members render services to different airlines.
In a circular NCAA/DGCA/AOL dated November 6th, 2024 and signed by the Acting Director-General, Civil Aviation, Capt. Chris Najomo declared the act illegal. The circular said instances where pilots operate for more than one airline concurrently pose a safety risk. It added that the license issued to the pilot or any member of the flight crew is operator-specific based on the approved Standards of Operating Procedures, SOPs.
The circular issued to Accountable Managers/Director of Flight Operations and Chief Pilots titled, “PROHIBITION OF AD-HOC FLIGHT OPERATIONS FOR MULTIPLE AIRLINES” read, “It has come to the notice of the authority through our surveillance reports that licensed flight crew members utilize the privileges simulators and proficiency checks endorsed on their license to operate for multiple airlines.
