In a press statement issued on Monday, the NCAA explained that Nigeria was de-listed by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2022 because no Nigerian airline had operated flights into the US within a two-year period.
“Nigeria was de-listed since 2022 and was duly informed of this action,” said Captain Chris Najomo, Acting Director General of Civil Aviation. He stressed that the de-listing was not linked to any safety concerns, clarifying, that “the de-listing of Nigeria has absolutely nothing to do with any safety or security deficiency in our oversight system.”
