AZMAN Air to begin flight operations tomorrow

…Receives AOC from NCAA

 President of AZMAN Air Services Limited, Alhaji Abdulmunaf Yunusa has disclosed that the airline would start its flight operations tomorrow (Thursday). Alhaji Yunusa said the airline would begin its flight on Kano to Lagos by 7:30am, then Lagos to Abuja and Abuja to Kaduna. He stated that the airline would commence flight operations with two Boeing 737 classic. Speaking with journalists while receiving the Air Operators Certificate, AOC, at the NCAA annex, Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, Yunusa stated that the airline’s inflight services would be very good as passengers will be treated with care. Alhaji Yunusa expressed appreciation to the management of Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, for the granting them the AOC. Similarly, the acting director general of NCAA, Engr. Benedict Adeyileka has tasked the management of AZMAN Air to ensure safety at all times as well as to protect and make their passengers more comfortable during the course of any flight. Engr. Adeyileka said safety is one of the major factors which every airline must adhere to. Adeyileka noted that getting the AOC is not the major challenge, adding that the challenges will come during the course of flight operations. He called on the airline to always treat their passengers with care. Engr. Adeyileka said the regulatory authority would work with the airline as a partner in order to ensure safe skies. He cautioned AZMAN Air to manage the issue of flight delays and cancellation with maturity by making sure that passengers are well catered for and the reason for the delay or cancellation adequately explained to them.“Having a delay or cancellation is not the problem, it is how you mange it. If it happens ensure that your passengers are well treated and if you can manage that, you are good. If there is a technical fault, delay the flight and at the same time treat the passengers well because it affects safety. Each time you fight with your passengers, you put safety at risk,” he said. Adeyileka stated that if an airline is safe and reliable, passengers can fly the airline with confidence. He warned AZMAN Air to comply with all the regulations of NCAA as falling to do so would attract serious sanction.
