NIGERIAN airlines have been delisted from the United States Aviation Administration Category One Status (USF CAT 1) International Aviation Safety Assessment programme, according to Lagos' Businessday.
This is due to the failure of any of the country's airlines to operate directly to the US for two years or vice-versa.
Nigeria's name is currently missing from the list of African countries in the F Flight Standard Service International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) programme otherwise known as the Category One country list.
Egypt, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Morocco, and South Africa are the African countries on the F Category One list. The countries on the category one list are certified to have met International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) standards.
A new law by the United States apex aviation regulatory body, the Federal Aviation Administration (F) stipulates that nations whose carriers fail to operate into the United States under the 'Open Skies' agreement between it and the US for at least two years will have its entire sector and airlines designated to undergo recertification.
