The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) is deliberately fashioning policies to unlock opportunities and attract investors into the aviation industry for economic growth and prosperity.
The Acting Director General, Civil Aviation, Captain. Chris Najomo disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja at the North-Central Regional Air Transportation Summit.
Represented at the event by Capt. Donald Tonye Spiff. Director, Operations, Licensing and Training, at the Agency DGCA said by enhancing operational efficiency, financial stability, and service excellence, the NCAA will create tremendous value for all stakeholders and catalyse economic growth.
He noted that the summit, the third in its series, is not only timely, but critical to achieving the statutory mandate and corporate goals of the NCAA, particularly with the dynamic stewardship of Barr. Festus Keyamo, SAN as the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development.
“With the support of this minister, we at NCAA are committed to rebranding, reinventing, and rejuvenating the Nigerian aviation sector for international competitiveness, sustainable growth and development” he assured.
The Ag.DGCA also indicated that “a sustainable regulatory framework built on collective engagement and strategic collaboration is critical to achieving operational excellence, enhanced productivity, and sector growth without compromising safety standards.”
“This approach, aligned with local and international regulations, is a cornerstone of the NCAA’s Strategic focus”  he further stated.
The theme of this summit, “Building a Viable Aviation Industry for National Economic Growth and Development”, he said is designed to foster dialogue and collaboration among key stakeholders. We must therefore, continue to address service deficiencies and poor passenger experiences stemming from inadequate funding.
“At the NCAA, we are optimistic that this summit will make an invaluable contribution to the Civil Aviation Master Plan currently being developed and accelerate the achievement of both domestic and international goals” he said.
Speaking at the sidelines of the event, Mr. Michael Achimugu, the Director Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, NCAA said events like the summit is necessary and would continue to happen to enable stakeholders and the NCAA to stay in tune of the business of aviation.
He noted that the DGCA’s mantra is the ease of doing business without compromising security and standards.
He emphasized that the NCAA is enabling investors in the sector deliver world class services and also get return on their investments.
He further stated that the signing of the practice direction Cape Town Convention and IDERA would ensure that more planes and investments will come into Nigeria to boost capacity.
“If we have enough planes, there will be reductions in flight disruptions” he stated.
