The Federal Government, through the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, has warned flight crew members, especially pilots, against working for multiple airlines concurrently.
The authority stated that such action posed a serious threat to safety and would be treated as a serious violation of the NCAA regulations.
This was contained in a circular published on Tuesday.
The circular was addressed to all aircraft operators by the Acting Director-General NCAA, Chris Najomo, with the Title: ‘Prohibition of Ad-Hoc Flight Operators for Multiple Airlines Background.”
The circular was dated November 6, 2024 with the reference number: NCAA/DGCA/AOL.
The NCAA said that the unprofessional conduct was discovered by its surveillance reports.
NCAA insisted that the flight simulator training device/facility approved by it is operator-specific based on the training programme and the Standard Operating Procedures for such an airline only.
The circular read partly, “With effect from the date of issuance of this directive, all operators and holders of pilot licences are informed that this action will be treated as a violation of the Nigeria Civil Aviation regulations.
“The authority will take appropriate enforcement action on violators of this directive, effective from November 11, 2024.
“Simulators renewals from henceforth will be filed to the operators.”
