Aviation committees in the lower and upper chambers of the National Assembly, and other stakeholders, have said that new strategies should not be an afterthought if the sector will wriggle out of current difficulties.
The Acts include the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority Act 2006; Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria Act 2010; Nigeria Airspace Management Agency Act 1999; Nigerian College of Aviation Technology Act, 1964; Nigerian Meteorological Act, 2003; and Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau Act, 2019. “The government didn’t do much in terms of a bailout for the airlines. The cost of a Boeing engine is close to $10 million and what the government provided for all the airlines is about N4 billion. So, when you compare what our airlines got with those of other countries, you will find out that they didn’t do much for the industry.
“Without financial relief, I do not see a quick recovery. We need an aggressive policy and we need to do much more on implementation that is very aggressive. As you are aware COVID-19 has put the global economy to the test, with air transport being undoubtedly the hardest hit by the pandemic.”
