The NCAA reiterated that “all airlines and allied aviation services providers must not operate without adequate and valid insurance cover, submitting to the Authority copies of valid insurance certificates, evidence of payment of premium and other policy documents of insurance cover of not less than three months.
“The Authority wants to state that non-adherence to this Regulation will attract immediate sanctions, including grounding the specific aircraft and taking enforcement action against any airlines or service providers that defaulted.”
