NCAA Sanctions Kenya Airways Over Passenger Rights Violations

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has sanctioned Kenya Airways for multiple consumer protection violations involving one Gloria Omisore and two other passengers.

According to a statement by NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, the infractions include failure to provide adequate care, poor communication of travel terms, non-processing of refunds and compensation, and a case of lost baggage. The airline has been given seven days to pay 1,000 special drawing rights in compensation to each affected passenger or face stiffer penalties.

The Authority says the action follows the airline’s refusal to comply with its directives, including a required apology, refund, and compensation for Ms Omisore, who was left stranded during a 17-hour layover in Nairobi, only to face an additional 10-hour wait. 

Despite repeated warnings, Kenya Airways reportedly failed to correct what the NCAA described as a misleading public statement about the incident.
