Safety concerns rise as NCAA raises alarm on fuel contamination in airlines

  • The NCAA has raised alarm over incidents of fuel contamination in the aviation sector
  • The Authority has promptly deployed an investigative team to some locations to carry out fact findings
  • The NCAA has emphasized the importance of conducting thorough testing and checks on jet fuel quality prior to refueling

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has released an informative notice called the All Operator’s Letter (AOL), notifying airline operators about fuel contamination occurrences within the aviation sector.

This action was taken in response to the identification of a significant amount of water found in the fuel tank of a Max Air aircraft. Consequently, the operation of all Boeing 737 aircraft in Max Air’s fleet was temporarily halted last week.
