Ticket sales for Enugu Air flights facilitated via Xejet platform - NCAA

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has explained that in the interim, ticket sales for Enugu Air flights are facilitated via the Xejet platform and accessible through a redirect on the Enugu Air official website.

In a statement by the NCAA, it noted that Enugu Air has designated XEJET as its operational partner pending the conclusion of its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) process.

The statement signed by Michael Achimugu, Director, of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection noted it has approved the commencement of domestic flight operations by Enugu Air, in line with Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development’s 5-Point Agenda aimed at promoting the growth of indigenous airlines, the DGCAs mantra enhancing ease of doing business, and deepening sectoral reforms.

“Under this partnership, XEJET has completed a full variation process to integrate the EMB 170 aircraft into its Operations Specifications (OpsSpecs), by the NCAA’s five-phase certification procedure.
