The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, has issued a stern warning to airline operators who are defaulting in the payment of their staff salaries.
The warning was issued after the management of NCAA held a meeting with culpable airlines.
According to Mr Fan Ndubuoke, General Manager, Public Affairs, NCAA, “at the meeting, the management expressed serious concern over the non-payment of salaries by the airlines. It viewed the development as detrimental to the continuous growth the industry has witnessed in recent times.”
Ndubuoke also said the warning became necessary when consistently the “financial health reports from the airlines were indicating gaps in financial stability.
“As far as the NCAA is concerned, the issue of non-payment of staff salaries is critical to safety. The moment an airline cannot meet its financial obligations, it is believed that the staff morale will be down.”
