NCAA sanctions Kenya Airways over passenger complaints
The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has sanctioned Kenya Airways for several consumer-related violations involving three passengers, including one Gloria Omisore.
This is contained in a statement on Friday by Michael Achimugu, director of public affairs and consumer protection.
Mr Achimugu stated the NCAA issued a sanction letter on Wednesday to Kenya Airways regarding the passengers’ complaints.
“The infractions include failure to provide care, lack of transparency in carriage terms, poor communication with the Authority, and mishandling refunds and baggage.
“In accordance with the NCAA Regulations 2023, Kenya Airways must pay fines and compensate each affected passenger with 1,000 special drawing rights.
“The airline has seven days to comply. Failure to do so will result in more severe penalties,” Mr Achimugu said.
