The development comes after UK’s Civil Aviation Authority reported Air Peace to NCAA, over alleged non-compliance with some safety regulations in the UK.
The decision was raised as a matter of urgent national importance, by Honourable Jesse Onuakalusi at a sitting on Tuesday.
The Reps members also raised an alarm over safety at airports across the country, due to alleged employment of incompetent personnel.
Raised as a matter of urgent national importance, it is asking the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, to carry out a comprehensive audit of all airport personnel.
The house also wants an audit of all contractors engaged in the last year.
Part of the resolution reached, was for Keyamo to appear before the aviation committee of the house within seven days.
The development comes after the Civil Aviation Authority in the United Kingdom, reported local airline operator, Air Peace to the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), over the airline’s alleged non-compliance with some safety regulations in the UK.
A spokesman for the NCAA, Michael Achimugu, told Channels Television on Monday that the regulator received some complaints from its British counterpart over Air Peace operations at the Gatwick Airport in London.
Achimugu said the safety concerns were raised during a ramp inspection by UKCAA.
It was learnt that two mandatory occurrence reports on Air Peace were sent to the UKCAA which subsequently forwarded the complaints to its Nigerian counterpart.
The NCAA spokesman noted that the authority has written Air Peace to clarify the issues raised about its operations at Gatwick.
Achimugu stressed that the complaints raised by the UKCAA fell under less serious categories of violations and not the Level 1 category which is for serious safety non-compliance.
“The complaints do not mean that the airline can no longer operate at the Gatwick airport. The NCAA has communicated the complaints to the airline. Investigation is ongoing,” he said.
