The Director General Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, Captain Chris Najomo has approved the resumption of domestic operations by Max Air.
A statement signed by Mr Michael Achimugu, Director public affairs and consumer protection says this follows the successful completion of an economic and safety audit.
Recall that, Max Air voluntarily suspended its domestic operations effective January 31, 2025 for 90 days after a series of incidents on its flights.
According to Achimugu, during the suspension period, the NCAA conducted a thorough safety and economic audit of the airline.
The safety audit involved a comprehensive re-inspection of Max Air’s organization, procedures, personnel, and aircraft, in line with the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations 2023.
This audit took place from 26th to 28th February 2025.
Given the results of the audit, which confirm Max Air’s capacity to sustain safe flight operations, the airline will resume domestic flights, effective from midnight on March 17, 2025.
The NCAA will continue to monitor Max Air closely through an enhanced surveillance program to ensure strict compliance with its regulations.
Mr Achimugu restated the Authority’s Commitment to ensuring that all airlines adhere to the highest safety standards for the continued well-being of the aviation industry.
