NCAA Reinstates Omni-Blu Aviation’s Air Operator Certificate

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has reinstated the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) of Omni-Blu Aviation nearly four weeks after its revocation.

The NCAA had revoked the AOCs of Omni-Blu Aviation and Eastwind Aviation Logistics Services Limited in January over document falsification allegations.

Appeal and Reinstatement

Omni-Blu Aviation announced on Monday that its appeal had succeeded, prompting the NCAA to lift its operational suspension.

According to a February 28, 2025, NCAA letter, evidence showed that Eastwind Aviation, not Omni-Blu, facilitated the falsified avionics report.

The NCAA determined that Omni-Blu Aviation neither participated in nor had prior knowledge of the falsification incident.

Company’s Reaction and Gratitude

Omni-Blu CEO, Akin Olateru, expressed gratitude to the NCAA for conducting a thorough review and making a fair decision.

He also appreciated clients, customers, and stakeholders who stood by the company throughout the challenging period.

NCAA spokesperson, Michael Achimugu, confirmed the reinstatement but stated Omni-Blu must settle all pending fines before resuming flights.
