Strange, the NCAA department of Airworthiness Standards was very busy to comb through the Maintenance activities of Arik and ACN the last couple of month, although they are the only Airlines in Nigeria having sort of a proper Maintenance Facilities including Hangar, tools and certified staff.
How comes that nobody took a closer look at Associated, an Airline not having enough resources to operate in accordance with minimum requirements.
The crew whacked it, no doubt !!! Although, the company provided the playground, to do so !!!
Maybe the NCAA should review their procedures, stop to play games with operators who comply with rules and start to muck out the rest.........
Or maybe there are some old scores to settle between the current Director of Airworthiness Standards and his former employers
