Thanks.
Well, it seems to get serious with Saudi GACA:
allAfrica.com: Nigeria: Hajj - Group Cautions On Airlift Delays
"Saudi Arabia saying that "GACA has adopted air safety specifications and standards implemented by European Civil Aviation Safety Agency and it will ban flight blacklisted by the agency from operating to and from the kingdom."
It is against this warning, the civil society maintained, that "air carriers should endeavour to conform to the set standard so as not to incur the wrath of Saudi General Authority for Civil Aviation. Such situation if allow to happen will not only affect Nigerian pilgrims but it will also blemish the image of the country."
"It then tasked Max Air, which has the highest allocation of pilgrims, with over 45 percent of the total number, to give attention to the conduct of its ground staff, in view of their direct impact to the psyche of pilgrims.
According to the statistics released by NAHCON, Max Air is to convey 40, 527 pilgrims, Kabo 15, 736, Medview 5, 200 and Meridian 3, 500."
How will they be able to comply with EASA regulations, or did I got something wrong?
