NCAA Suspends Unlicensed Oil Markets From Supplying, Refueling Aircraft

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has imposed suspensions on all unlicensed oil markets and those with expired licenses, preventing them from supplying and refuelling aircraft at any of the country’s airports.

VerseNews reports that according to the Director General of NCAA, Captain Musa Nuhu, the detection of non-licensed aircraft fuelers and expired license holders was achieved in collaboration with NMDPRA.

“This collaboration with NMPDRA has yielded positive results so far. The collaboration has led to the identification of all non-licensed fuellers and those with expired licenses. That has led to the suspension of all their activities in the airport in Nigeria.”

Furthermore, he pointed out the recent issuance of an All Operators Letter (AOL), making it mandatory for operators to follow approved fuelling requirements. He emphasized the NCAA’s increased vigilance in ensuring comprehensive compliance.

He claimed that the recent fuel contamination incidents, especially those involving Max Air, have garnered attention not only within the country but also internationally.
