The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has sanctioned Saudi Airlines to the tune of N6 million for consumer protection-related infractions.
A statement by the Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, NCAA, Chris Achimugu, in a statement on his X (formally Twitter) handle on Friday noted that the move came after supporting the airline to avert violence at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport a couple of months back, and allowing the grace of extended time to resolve several pending issues, as well as determinations by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
“This sanction is necessary to ensure compliance with Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023.
“It is also hoped that the airline will improve, exponentially, its Nigeria operations. Paying passengers travelling to/fro Nigeria need to feel protected and respected by the carrier”, the statement read in part.
