NCAA, like the global industry, lacks enough safety inspectors- Captain Nuhu

NigerianFlightDeck 26th April 2021 Executive Interviews 0 442

Since I came onboard, I have successfully dealt with three cases with Cape Town Conviction. There was an airline that took some engines and they don't want to return them, we fought for it. There was a helicopter that was seized, we fought for it and they released it. There was an aircraft that we let go. If we don't do that people don't feel safe allowing their equipment into your country, even if you are doing, you pay excess and you pay a premium on the ongoing market rate and whatever profit you think you are going to make is wiped off.
