Nigeria's First Nation Airways loses safety violation appeal
A panel has upheld a decision to fine First Nation Airways for safety violations, after one of its pilots was found to have let his medical certificate lapse, reports ch-aviation.
The expired certification cost the airline NGN32 million (USD101,000) and the pilot NGN1.5 million (USD4,800).
