The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), has granted an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) to the 3 Horizons Nigeria Limited, for a domestic commercial flight operation in the country.

During the handover at a brief ceremony at the NCAA headquarters in Abuja yesterday, the Director-General, Civil Aviation, Capt. Chris Najomo, charged the company to abide by all aviation regulations and the standards and recommended practices without any compromise.

He expressed the agency’s delight for a milestone achievement recorded by the 3 Horizons Nigeria Limited to obtain the license, which he said started in 2021, while charging directors and inspectors of the NCAA to remain focused in ensuring compliance from all players within the industry.

He warned that the agency would continue to carry its oversight role on the operators, and that it would not hesitate in subjecting them into audit exercises as and when due.

The chairman of 3 Horizons Nigeria, Dr. Suleiman Sani Bello, represented by the director of operations and chief pilot of the company, Shehu Mohammed Sani, expressed appreciation to the NCAA DG, as well as the certification team, for granting the licence.

Also speaking, the General Manager of the airline, Mohammed Kabir Mohammed, said the 3 Horizons Nigeria, with headquarters in Kaduna, is expected to begin operations soon, providing flight services to some underserved routes, including Abuja-Kaduna, and some destinations within the North East zone.
