NCAA slams RwandAir N15m fine over baggage issue

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has imposed a N15 million fine on RwandAir for violating consumer protection regulations, according to a recent announcement by the agency's Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu. The penalty was issued after RwandAir failed to address a passenger's baggage complaint within the required timeframe.

Achimugu revealed that the airline was also ordered to replace the damaged bag and compensate the passenger with $170, in accordance with Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023. This stern warning from the NCAA serves as a reminder that airlines that fail to process passenger refunds within the stipulated timeframe outlined in Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023 will face sanctions.
