US FAA yesterday announced Nigeria has achieved a Category 1 safety rating after making improvements to meet ICAO standards. The upgrade will allow Nigerian airlines to fly their own aircraft to the US. In a statement, the agency said the “Category 1 rating is based on the results of a July FAA review of Nigeria’s civil aviation authority."
Until the category upgrade, Nigerian carriers had to wet-lease aircraft from another airline with Category 1 status for US-bound flights. Nigeria becomes the sixth country on the continent to achieve a Category 1 rating, joining Cape Verde, Egypt, Ethiopia, Morocco and South Africa.
FAA said an IASA Category 1 rating “means a country has the laws and regulations necessary to oversee air carriers in accordance with minimum international standards, and that its civil aviation authority–equivalent to the FAA for aviation safety matters–meets international standards for technical expertise, trained personnel, recordkeeping and inspection procedures.”
