The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), has disclosed plans to withdraw the operating certificate of Med-View Airline Plc by November, over prolonged shutdown of commercial operations.
The withdrawal notice was in line with the Nigerian Civil Aviation’s Regulations (Nig. CARs) that prohibit non-usage of operating licence for between three to nine months or violation of its provisions.
NCAA had since downgraded the airlines’ scheduled operation to the status of chartered operator. The apex regulator, however, still awaits the revival of its operations accordingly, without which the licence withdrawal will take effect.
The new twist to a festering distress at Med-View has also thrown the management and workers into panic mode. It was learnt that while the management were jostling to return at least an aircraft into operation, its workers had begun to seek new vacancies elsewhere amid uncertainties at Med-View.
