okay.ng reports that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) had earlier reiterated that airlines must comply with consumer protection rules. NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, emphasized that airlines delaying or cancelling flights, especially between 10:00 pm and 4:00 am, must provide hotel accommodation for stranded passengers.
Achimugu also disclosed that the government has directed NCAA to begin naming and shaming airlines that fail to comply with aviation regulations.
