Analysts Worries Over Nigeria’s Aviation Safety On Disparity In Ground Handling Charges

Author: Africa Business Radio July 12, 2021 Duration: 21:19
Analysts in the Aviation sectors have expressed worry over the disparity in the charges of ground handling companies in Nigeria as well as in comparison with other countries in the West
African sub-region, saying the situation in Nigeria if not checked could impact safety as it was already impacting revenue generation negatively.
A cross-section of analysts who spoke on the matter noted that the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria was losing billions of naira annually from the 5 per cent gross annual turnover paid by the ground handling companies as some even say it is economic sabotage against Nigeria.
For instance, it is observed that ground handling rates in Nigeria is the lowest in the entire African countries, if not the world and this has been a thorny issue for over a decade.
