Abuja, March 18, 2025 – Max Air is to resume its domestic flight operations from Friday after the completion of an economic and safety audit.
This was disclosed by Michael Achimugu, the Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, in the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) in a statement on Monday.
Achimugu said the NCAA was able to conduct a thorough safety and economic audit of the airline during the period of the suspension.
He said the safety audit, which took place from Feb. 26 to Feb. 28, 2025, involved a comprehensive re-inspection of Max Air’s organization, procedures, personnel, and aircraft, in line with the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations 2023.
“Given the results of the audit, which confirm Max Air’s capacity to sustain safe flight operations, the airline will resume domestic flights, effective from midnight on March 17, 2025.”
The statement, however, said the NCAA would continue to monitor Max Air closely through an enhanced surveillance program to ensure strict compliance with its regulations.
The domestic operations of the airline were suspended for 90 days on Jan. 29, 2025 after series of incidents on its flights.
