Arik commends NAMA over
e-flight plan
Arik Air, a leading domestic carrier in the
country has commended Nigerian Airspace
Management Agency (NAMA) over the implementation of e- flight plan introduced early March ,2012 to
ease operation in the air transport sector.
The Aeronautical Information Service Flight
Portal enables airline flight dispatchers to submit all flight plans without
having to be physically present at the AIS unit of the agency.
In
a letter to the Management of NAMA signed by Arik Operations Control Centre,
Flight Dispatch Manager, Mr. Luis Pedro declared that “the system is working
very well and we would like to congratulate NAMA for the implementation of such
magnificent tool that has the ability to receive flight plan and almost
immediately confirm if the flight plan was accepted or rejected”.
Pedro, however suggested a dedicated telephone
line to enable flight dispatchers contact the AIS officials to correct flight
plans when error is detected.
The
managing director of the agency, Engr. Mazi Nnamdi Udoh reacting to Arik’s positive experience on the e-flight plan in
Lagos on Thursday, said the agency would continue to strive for excellence in
air traffic services.
‘’
I see this comment as a great endorsement of our services by an airline like
Arik with large fleet of aircraft. We are working assiduously to
constantly improve on air traffic services in the country and
bring it to the global standard’’, the NAMA boss added.
