He added, “However, as a result of this incident, Max Air is suspending its domestic flight operations for a period of three months…to allow for an internal appraisal of its operations by its management.”

During the suspension period, the NCAA will conduct a thorough safety and economic audit on Max Air.

“The safety audit will entail a re-inspection of Max Air’s organization, procedures, personnel and aircraft…while the economic audit will critically examine the financial health of the airline to guarantee its capability to sustain safe flight operations,” Achimugu explained.

The NCAA has appealed for patience and understanding from passengers, stating that the safety and well-being of passengers is paramount.

 

The resumption of Max Air’s domestic flight operations will be predicated on the satisfactory completion of the audit.
