Max Air Cleared to Resume Domestic Flights After Safety Audit

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has granted approval for Max Air to restart domestic flight operations following a successful safety and economic audit.  

The airline had voluntarily suspended its domestic services for 90 days from 29 January 2025 after a series of operational incidents. The NCAA welcomed the decision and used the period to conduct a detailed review of the airline’s safety and financial standing.
