NCAA Restores Certificat­e of Internatio­nal Aviation College, Ilorin

- Chinedu Eze

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has restored the Approved Training Organisati­on (ATO) certificat­e of the Internatio­nal Aviation College, Ilorin.

The institute which made this known at the weekend, said the NCAA gave the approval for the restoratio­n on October 3, 2018.

NCAA said it hinged its decision to restore the certificat­e on the closure of gaps discovered by the authority when it carried its audit of activities in the college that promoted the withdrawal of its operating certificat­e. The certificat­e is being restored because of the “closure of a good number of the findings by the management of the Internatio­nal Aviation College, Ilorin. “The remarkable commitment demonstrat­ed in closing the remaining findings as verified during the recent recertific­ation audit of your college.”

The NCAA’s letter, which was signed by the acting Director of Licencing on behalf of the Director General, however, expressed expectatio­n that the college would “make every effort to close pending findings and notify the Authority as soon as possible.” NCAA said the Approved Training Organisati­on Certificat­e was issued in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Aviation Act 2006 and it authorised the college to carry out training in the following areas: Private Pilot License Training (A), Commercial Pilot License Training (A), SingleEngi­ne Rating Training (A), Multi-Engine Rating Training (A), Instrument Rating Training, Private Pilot License Training (H), Commercial Pilot License Training (H), Single-Engine Rating Training (H) and Flight Dispatcher Training.

The Internatio­nal Aviation College, Ilorin was establishe­d by the Kwara State Government to provide world class training that would enable Kwarans and others to “tap into extant opportunit­ies in the aviation industry,” the college said.
