The Director General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Dr Harold Demuren, commended the management of FirstNation for its dedication and courage throughout the certification process. He also stated, “The Civil Aviation Regulatory Regime in Nigeria has progressively improved over time and is now acknowledged as one of the most demanding AOC application processes internationally, therefore, it is challenging for any airline without a strong capital base, competence, technical knowledge and management depth to complete the certification process under the current Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations.
