A new policy called the National Civil Aviation Policy, 2013 has been
introduced by the federal government banning private jet owners from
carrying their friends and business
associates on board their aircraft. They are only allowed to carry
family members, while companies with private jets are only allowed to
carry their employees or members of the Boards of Directors.
Read what the NCAP policy states after the cut…
Approval or clearance from the Director-General, NCAA, will not be
required from Nigerians operating non-revenue flights with appropriate
insurance policies in the following cases:
*For private aircraft owned or leased by individuals, only the family
members of the owner/lessee of the aircraft will be permitted on board
as passengers.
*For private aircraft owned or leased by companies or corporate
entities, only the employees and members of the Board of Directors of
the company will be permitted on board as passengers.
*For aircraft belonging to non-scheduled or scheduled operators, only
the employees and members of the Board of Directors of the company or
the corporation may be permitted on board as passengers; all operators
will declare the identities of all passengers on non-revenue charter
flights in the appropriate general declaration forms prior to obtaining
ATC clearance.
Nigerian carriers operating revenue passenger charter flights will be
required to have a current non-scheduled or scheduled operator permit
with operations manual that contains flight duty time limitations, which
will be strictly monitored on regular basis.
Retention of foreign registered aircraft in Nigeria will not be
permitted beyond a period of 15 days from date of entry. However, the
Minister of Aviation may, in certain circumstances, grant the extension
of this period for up to 60 days.
