The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has fined Lyxor International, a non-schedule general aviation operator, N9.5m for violating the terms of its approved flight clearances.
The NCAA, in the Letter of Sanction written to the airline, said its Aviation Safety Inspectors on February 16, 2017, during a routine ramp inspection of the airline’s Bombardier Challenger CL605 aircraft, found it culpable of the infraction.
In a statement on Sunday, the NCAA said, “Upon this discovery, the aircraft with registration mark T7-YES was immediately grounded by the Aviation Safety Inspectors at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
“However, the aircraft was subsequently released after the payment of N3m on volitional condition on account of a possible civil sanction. This was in addition to an undertaken to comply with any sanction applicable as a result of the violation.”
