The Federal Government under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has suspended the operations of all the Boeing 737 aircraft in the fleet of Max Air over safety concerns after a series of incidents.

This was contained in a letter issued by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) with reference number, NCAA/DG/AIR/11/16/363, dated July 12, 2023, titled, ‘Suspension of Parts A3 and D43 of the Operations Specifications Issued to Max Air with Immediate Effect.’

The letter reads: “The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) hereby suspends Parts A3 (Aircraft Authorization) and D43 (Aircraft Listing) of the Operations Specifications issued to Max Air Ltd. with regards to the operations of the Boeing B737 aircraft type in your fleet.

“With the above suspension, you are to immediately suspend the operations of all Boeing B737 aircraft in your fleet.

“The Authority’s action is due to the several occurrences that involved your Boeing B737 aircraft as listed hereunder:
“Loss of Number 1 Main Landing Gear (MLG) wheel during the serious incident involving a Boeing 737-400 aircraft, registration marks 5N-MBD which occurred between Take-off at Yola Airport Adamawa State and on landing at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja Nigeria on 7th May 2023.

“An air return by aircraft B737-300, Registration Marks; 5N-MHM to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA) due to duct overheat indication in the cockpit on the 11th of July, 2023.

Policy here and there without any positive results.

Zero impact. Things getting worse.

Despite (NCAA) given instances where safety of life and property is been compromise by MAX AIR, someone is still trying to criticize the move...
Set of people that wil be the first to start wailing,if bad things had happen if their operation has not been suspended...
As we always criticize our government institutions when they are not doing the right things, let also praise them,whenever they present us with fact and take the right step. Just like in the recent case of JAMB AND NCAA...
I.O.T

Did you read the post at all?

See the well calculated propaganda. NCAA suspended Max Air but the propagandists stresses one point "Tinubu's Government ".

Oga the fact is that Tinubu's government is failing already.
