Quorum Aviation Limited says it has all the requisite certificates and approvals from the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority NCAA, for the ill-fated helicopter that crashed over the weekend in Lagos.
According to a statement by the Management of the company, all the certificates and approvals are obtained through a very rigorous process including inter alia an Air Operator Certificate (AOC), Certificate of Airworthiness (COA) and Insurance.
“All our certificates and approvals are current and valid as issued by the authorities following due process.”
Quorum Aviation says it is compelled to make a few clarifications regarding the unfortunate helicopter accident which occurred on Friday, August 28, 2020 that claimed the lives of three of our staffs who were onboard the aircraft due to reports making the rounds that the helicopter that crashed had no certificates or approvals.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Quorum Aviation Limited is a responsible corporate entity that adheres to, and complies with all the rules and regulations pertaining to the aviation industry as laid-out in the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (NCAR).”
The company says, during this diffic
ult time, “we crave the indulgence of the media to refrain from conjecture and speculation, and to choose instead to await the outcome of the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) investigation into the cause of the mishap. Our thoughts and prayers remains with the families of the departed.”
