Omni-Blu Aviation Ltd., says the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has cleared it of any wrongdoing and reinstated its Air Operators Certificate (AOC) No. OBA/AOC/1 2-15/002.

The Chief Executive Officer, Omni-Blu Aviation, Mr Akin Olateru, disclosed this in a statement on Monday in Lagos.

According to Olateru, the reinstatement of the company’s AOC followed an appeal against the NCAA’s decision to revoke it on Jan. 30.

He stated that the NCAA had initially revoked the certificate over alleged violations of Part 1.2.1.5 of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs).

According to Olateru, the NCAA, in a letter dated Feb. 28 (Ref: NCAA/DGCA/DLS/CS/2025/013), stated that Omni-Blu Aviation is cleared of any involvement in the issuance or falsification of a readout report.

Specifically, he noted that the NCAA’s letter confirmed that the falsified readout report for the avionics equipment of a Sikorsky S76C+ helicopter (MSN 760486, Reg. Mark 5N-BQG) was facilitated by the aircraft’s owner/operator, Eastwind Aviation Ltd.

Olateru added that the NCAA concluded there was no active participation by Omni-Blu Aviation in the events leading to the falsification of the readout report.

He further noted that there was neither any intent to falsify, nor any knowledge of the falsification, on the part of Omni-Blu Aviation.

“We wish to thank the NCAA appeal review panel and the D-G NCAA for painstakingly and dispassionately undertaking this administrative review and reaching a most equitable decision.
