The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has ratified the commencement of domestic operations by Enugu Air through a temporary partnership with XEJET.
In a statement issued by Michael Achimugu, NCAA spokesperson, on Monday, XEJET has been picked as Enugu Air’s operational partner pending the conclusion of its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) process.
The NCAA also added that, under this partnership, XEJET has completed a full validation process to integrate the EMB 170 aircraft into its Operations Specifications (OpsSpecs), following the NCAA’s five-phase certification procedure.
“As such, XEJET is duly authorised to operate scheduled commercial flights on behalf of Enugu Air under current NCAA guidelines,” NCAA stated.
Achimugu revealed that all ticket sales for Enugu Air flights will be processed through XEJET’s booking platform, accessible through a redirect on the Enugu Air official website, NCAA disclosed.
The Nigerian airline regulation body also reaffirmed its commitment to provide an enabling environment for indigenous carriers, ensuring fair competition, and upholding the highest standards of safety, security and consumer protection in Nigeria’s air transport industry.
