Azman Air has announced the suspension of its scheduled flight operation indefinitely. The development came following the alleged failure of the carrier to meet the Air Operators Certificate (AOC) renewal process as required by aviation authorities in the country.
NewsBits gathered that the airline had on Wednesday evening told its staff not to report to duties on Thursday. The airline allegedly told the workers that it was suspending operations ‘due to operational reasons,’ but was not specific about the reasons
It was further gathered that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) suspended its operation for failing to meet the requirements for AOC renewal. The regulatory body had given it much time to renew the AOC but failed despite issuing the airline another 30 days ultimatum to meet the requirements.
