NCAA, in a statement by its spokesperson, Michael Achimugu, on Monday, said Enugu Air has designated XEJET as its operational partner pending the conclusion of its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) process.
The NCAA also added that, pursuant to this partnership, XEJET has completed a full variation process to integrate the EMB 170 aircraft into its Operations Specifications (OpsSpecs), in accordance with the NCAA’s five-phase certification procedure.
“As such, XEJET is duly authorised to operate scheduled commercial flights on behalf of Enugu Air under current NCAA guidelines,” NCAA stated.
