BREAKING: FG Revokes Two Air Operator Certificates

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has revoked the Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) of two aviation companies, Eastwind Aviation Logistics Services Limited and Omni-Blu Aviation.

The decision was made due to violations of Part 1.2.1.5 of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig. CARs), which prohibits the falsification, reproduction, or alteration of applications, licenses, certificates, logbooks, reports, or records.

According to the NCAA, the revocation of the AOCs is part of its ongoing efforts to sanitize the aviation industry and ensure that all operators uphold the highest standards of integrity and safety in their operations. The regulatory body stated that both Eastwind Aviation and Omni-Blu Aviation were found to be in violation of the regulations, and as a result, their AOCs have been withdrawn.

The revocation of the AOCs means that both companies are no longer authorized to carry out commercial air transport operations. Eastwind Aviation Logistics Services Limited primarily provided helicopter services to Nigeria’s oil and gas and government sectors, while Omni-Blu Aviation offered helicopter charter services for offshore oil and gas operations, as well as business jet and helicopter charter services.
