NCAA tasks training organisations on standards

Aviation Training Organisations (ATOs) in the country have been called upon to scale the quality capacity development programs to run for technical personnel in the air transport sector in order to boost safety and meet up with international benchmarks.

The Director General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, Capt Chris Najomo, stated this Monday in Lagos at the opening ceremony of a three-day workshop on managing compliance among approved training organizations with the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig. CARs).

According to Najomo, ATOs are the foundation upon which well-trained professionals who ensure the safety and efficiency of our aviation operations are built.

Najomo, represented by General Manager Licensing NCAA Mr. Hyelni Bassi, stated that the industry, aviation professionals, and ultimately the traveling public depend on the rigorous training and compliance measures established together.

He said, “Today, we face significant challenges in maintaining high standards of quality and compliance within our training organizations. Rapid advancements in technology, evolving regulatory frameworks, and the increasing complexity of aviation operations necessitate a proactive and collaborative approach.”.

Najomo urged participants to work diligently to ensure that Approved Training Organizations not only meet but exceed the expectations set forth by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations.
