“We have the opportunity to start on a clean slate and get it right this time because we haven’t always gotten it right, especially with the airlines.” Nigeria Airline
The former Secretary General of the African Civil Aviation Commission , Iyabo Sosina, and the Chief Executive Officer , African Aviation Services, Nick Fadugba, said this at a recent webinar forum, as they urged the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority , to consider having three to four local airlines with a strong fleet capacity of an average of 10 to 20 aircraft per carrier.
She said though the industry in Nigeria had for too long been left behind, the ravaging coronavirus pandemic avails an unusual opportunity for the country to restart and be at par with other airlines on the African continent. “A question to ask is this: can the government trust the airlines to keep their own side of the bargain in such a transaction? After all, going by the antecedent, the government has no reason to believe that the airlines will deliver.
On his part, Fadugba, who is also the Chairman of the African Business Aviation Association , proposed a series of practical solutions to drive the Nigerian aviation industry forward. These cover the four key areas of regulatory environment, airlines, infrastructure and business and general aviation.
