Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) says it disputes a Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) claim that 11 domestic airlines owe money for regulatory services. AON faults the NCAA’s decision to withhold services from the affected airlines until their outstanding obligations are settled. The airlines argue they do not owe the NCAA, stating that payments for regulatory services are made before those services are rendered. AON also seeks a review of ticket charges, implying that ticket pricing and related charges are part of the dispute over how regulatory costs are handled. The NCAA’s position, as reported by outlets, centers on outstanding financial obligations tied to regulation and oversight. AON’s rejection of the debt claim adds to the conflict between the regulator and domestic carriers regarding the basis of the charges and the justification for restricting services to carriers that, according to the operators, have already complied with payment processes. The disagreement remains unresolved, with the operators calling for reconsideration of both the debt claim and related ticket charges.
