Licensed flight crew members have been banned from operating multiple airlines, the Federal Government of Nigeria has said.
In a restriction order issued by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), flight crew members and pilots have been restricted from rendering services to different airlines.
According to the NCAA, its findings show that pilots and crew members have continued to operate under several airlines.
In the circular NCAA/DGCA/AOL dated November 6, 2024, and signed by the acting director general of Civil Aviation, Captain Chris Najomo, the NCAA declared such an act illegal.
The agency said such action by crew members and pilots pose a safety risk.
The order said, “Instances where pilots operate for more than one airline concurrently without safety considerations of such actions poses a safety risk to the industry.
“The Authority will take appropriate enforcement action on violators of this directive, effective from November 11, 2024.
“Simulator renewals from henceforth will be tied to the Operator. Please comply accordingly,” the circular noted.
