Azman Air Seeks Immediate Lifting of Suspension


Azman Air has written a protest letter to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) demanding the lifting of suspension of its operations, while insisting that the regulatory agency’s decision was too hasty.

In the letter which was seen by the Daily Sun, the airline’s accountable manager, Muhammad Hadi Abdulmunaf, said even though the NCAA investigated two of the three incidents which happened this month and cleared the aircraft for operations, the third incident had not been investigated, hence there is no basis for suspension.

It then asked the Authority to reverse the suspension “in line with the established precedent in respect of other airlines which has similar incidents/experiences in the past. This is particularly necessary in the interest of justice, fairness, and fairplay.”

The letter with title: Re: Suspension of Parts A3 and D43 of the Operations Specifications Issued to Azman Air” reads: “Shortly after recur of the letter, we received a zoom conference invitation which was held between 1pm to 2pm on Tuesday (16/03/2021) surprisingly, the reason or grounds for suspension on Azman operations was not contained in the letter under reference, nor discussed at the zoom conference. In fact all Azman officials request with reasons or ground was not attended to. Instead , attempt was made by the chief host (Engr. Ajiboye) to link the Azman Aircraft wheel burst in Lagos on (16/02/2021) with 5N-SYS which occurred on (16/02/2021) with recent Kaduna wheel burst of flight 5N-YSM which happened on 15/03/2021.

“Instructively, the NCAA and AIB have cleared Azman Air Aircraft to continue its operations. Also the incident that happened with regards to an object falling from Aircraft 5incidents/experiences in the past. This is particularly necessary in the interest of justice, fairness, and fairplay.” N-SYS has technically been investigated and cleared by the NCAA with a sanction to Azman Air and the staff from Azman Air in Abuja on (8/03/2021)

AZMAN BREAKS SILENCE ON PURPORTED STATEMENT

THE SUSPENSION OF AZMAN AIR AND THE PURPORTED REACTION FROM AZMAN AIR AGAINST THE PERSON OF THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF NCAA, CAPT. MUSA NUHU - AN UNFORTUNATE DELIBERATE DISTRACTION We wish to state, unequivocally and categorically, and without any iota of doubt, that the recent publication making rounds in the media in which an attack,  purported to be masterminded by Azman Air in reaction to NCAA's suspension of its operations, was launched on the personal integrity of the DG, NCAA, Capt. Musa Nuhu, never came from Azman Air. There is no iota of truth in that publication as the contents never represented any facts but deliberate falsehood targeted at discrediting not only the hardworking DG but also Azman Air. We were equally as shocked as anyone when we saw the unfortunate publication in the social media. Yes, we had our request for expatriate pilots turned down but this has nothing to do with the integrity of the DG as a person as other airlines were so treated hence we have decide...

NCAA/AZMAN AIR SAGA: A WITCH-HUNT FROM MUSA NUHU

Recently Azman Air received a letter referenced number NCAA/DG/AIR/11/16/300 dated 15 March 2021 signed by DG NCAA Captain Musa Nuhu informing them about the suspension of their flight operations without any Justifiable Course.  However, it is equally important to inform the General Public about the circumstances that led to this unfortunate situation. A) Prior to the appointment of Musa Nuhu, DG of NCAA, while he was serving as Nigerian ICAO representative in Canada, few years back. He was at Azman Air Head Office in Kano with copies of ICAO Magazines, which featured Azman Air advert and demanded the sum of 15 million Naira for the publications, which the Managing Director of Azman Air Faisal Abdulmunaf outrightly rejected. B) On his appointment and assumption of duty as DG NCAA, he started his vendetta against Azman Air. Such as, raising serious allegations against the airline in different meetings, which Azman Air always objected on spot. Most of the time it is obvious this infu...
