The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has said it will not hesitate to sanction any airline involved in display of cunning departure time for flights.

The Authority said airlines use the deceitful time to attract passengers who desire to travel and meet up with their appointment.

The actions by some airlines have led to delays, merging of flights, disruption of flights and sometimes cancellations of flights.

Reacting to the issue, the Director of Consumer Protection and Public Affairs of NCAA, MICHAEL ACHIMUGU said the Authority will continue to engage the airlines to curb the practice.

He said the Acting Director General of the NCAA, Captain CHRIS NAJOMO has directed officials of the authority to monitor the activities of airlines and sanction those going against aviation roles.

He also warned that the NCAA will go after airlines that refuse to refund passengers after cancellations of flights.
