The Namibia Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) was recently awarded by vote, the prestigious Best Civil Aviation Authority accolade at the Aviation Week Africa (AWA) gala night held in Livingstone, Zambia. 

The continental recognition celebrates outstanding performance, regulatory excellence, and commitment to aviation safety and service delivery across Africa. 

The award was handed over to NCAA executive director, Toska Sem by Captain Gabriel Luembe, director general of the Zambia Civil Aviation Authority (ZCAA).

In a statement, the NCAA noted that the achievement is a direct result of the tireless efforts and dedication of NCAA staff, the visionary leadership of the board of directors, the continued support of valued stakeholders, and the strong strategic guidance from its main shareholder, the works and transport ministry. 

“This milestone affirms the NCAA’s role as a leading force in shaping safe, secure, and efficient air transport in Africa, and serves as motivation to continue raising the bar in regulatory excellence,” the authority said.
