The Director-General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, Chris Najomo, has convened a meeting with airlines’ Chief Executive Officers, amid the consistent flight delays and cancellations during the festive season.
Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, NCAA, Michael Achimugu disclosed this on his X handle on Thursday.
He said that Najomo is cutting short an important assignment to meet with all the CEOs of domestic airlines in Nigeria on Friday.
Achimugu recounted an experience he had while trying to catch his flight.
“I walked into the scene this evening while trying to catch a flight myself. Passengers were really angry and threatened to become violent.
“I personally addressed them and engaged for about 20 minutes, explaining that I would confirm from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency, NiMET, if the weather was truly bad. I also explained that the airline does not have liability in the event of force majeure,” he said
