The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority has sanctioned Saudi Airlines to the tune of six million naira for consumer protection-related infractions.
Having supported the airline to avert violence at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport a couple of months back, and allowing the grace of extended time to resolve several pending issues as well as determinations by the CAA, this sanction is necessary to ensure compliance with Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023. It is also hoped that the airline will improve, exponentially, its Nigeria operations.
Paying passengers travelling to/fro Nigeria need to feel protected and respected by the carrier. The NCAA will continue to support Saudi, and every other airline, to operate at optimal capacity.
