Kenya Airways is facing penalties from Nigerian aviation authorities after the airline was found to have violated consumer protection regulations in at least three separate cases, including the widely publicised incident in February involving passenger Gloria Omisore.

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) last week issued a formal sanction letter to Kenya Airways (KQ), citing failures ranging from denial of care to mishandling of refunds and compensation.
