Sen. Abdulfatai Buhari has called for a meeting with key stakeholders in Nigeria's aviation sector to address frequent flight delays and cancellations. The aim is to find lasting solutions that align with global best practices and support economic growth.
The Senate has summoned the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development alongside the Director-General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA and airline operators to unravel the circumstances behind incessant flight delays and cancellations. The invitation of the key stakeholders in the aviation sector is said to be aimed at finding lasting solutions to the problem. The resolution followed a motion moved by Sen.
“This development is worrisome, as air travel is one of the most reliable, dependable and quicker means of transportation often undertaken for business and official purposes and to keep to other scheduled appointments, which are usually time-bound,' he said. According to him, the unwarranted flight delays and cancellations would be counter-productive to the socio-economic growth and development of the country.
