Experts in the aviation industry have listed poor on-time performance, incessant flight delays, among others as some of the key factors that led to the demise of Nigerian airlines after a short period of operation.
Travel expert and organiser of Akwaaba African Travel Market, Ambassador Ikechi Uko, told THISDAY that poor on-time performance was one of the drawbacks of Nigerian airlines because it does not make them competitive in an environment where other airlines are operating like the West Coast, international destinations, noting that consistent flight delay has affected the image of Nigerian operators and can be defined as negative branding for them.
“It stems from the culture, where people do not take keeping to time seriously. One is even tempted to believe it is a Nigerian thing because whenever there is group trip involving Nigerians and others, it is the Nigerians that do not turn up as scheduled,” Uko said. However, the Managing Director of Flight and Logistics Solutions Limited, Amos Akpan said 60 per cent of the factors that cause poor on-time performance for domestic operations are outside the management’s control, but 40 per cent is within their control and that is what they must take advantage that, noting Ibom Air and Green Africa have done excellently well with that that time they have.
