The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) says Aero Contractors paid N257 million in refunds from January to August 2025.
In a statement on Friday, NCAA said the refunds made by Aero
increased by 137.4 percent from the same period in 2024 — demonstrating
improved compliance with refund regulations.
“Total refund paid January – August 2025 = 257,195,724.39
naira, compared to 108,308,037.40 naira over the same period 2024 and
32,766,652.30 naira in 2023,” the statement reads.

“The figures above show that there is a remarkable
improvement in compliance with Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023.

operating environment, the Authority will continue to protect the rights of all

In December 2024, Michael Achimugu, director of public
affairs and consumer protection at NCAA, said the regulator will sanction
airlines for delayed ticket refunds.
Achimugu said airlines must strictly adhere to refund
timelines as stipulated under Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations of 2023, which
seeks to safeguard passenger rights.
The spokesperson added that cash purchases must be refunded
immediately, and by cash while refunds for electronic payments, including
mobile apps and internet banking must occur within 14 days.
