Increase In Air Fares, Government Must Find Solution — NANTA

September 10, 2022

The National Association of Nigeria Travel Agencies (NANTA) on Thursday said the continued increment in the price of local and international air fares was unacceptable to Nigerians and the trade association. Mrs Susan Akporiaye, NANTA’s National President, during a media briefing in Lagos, urged the Federal Government to engage necessary stakeholders in the aviation industry on the development.

According to her, the increment is hostile to the survival of Nigerian aviation downstream sector. Akporiaye said It was disheartening that Nigerians had to buy tickets to the tune of N3million and be charged as high as N1million to change travel dates, even on tickets bought before the problem began. “This is unacceptable, exploitative, and hostile to the survival of Nigerian aviation downstream sector. ” We call for sanity and return to the best inventory practices and deployment. ” We urge government, as a matter of urgency, to open further windows of engagement by calling for a meeting with all parties involved,” she said.

Akporiaye said such parties include the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Minister of Aviation, Minister of Finance, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, the International Air Transport Association and NANTA. “We appreciate government for the release of some funds for the aviation industry and we hope this problem will be attended to promptly,” she said. Akporiaye said the nation was going through one of the most difficult times in its travel economy. She said there were issues of foreign exchange scarcity, unbelievable local and international travel fare increases, visa restrictions and threats of deportation at the slightest whims of some foreign countries. The NANTA president said that businesses must be considered, as they were on the verge of total collapse and staff in the industry might be forced into the streets. She advised the foreign airlines to have a rethink, knowing well that Nigeria remained a high net worth destination for them to do business. ” We request that the foreign airlines pause and have a rethink on this that we find exploitative. ”

They are advised to restore inventories across board and think of the good days when they flew in and out of Nigeria, enjoying the best patronage from us and Nigerian travelling public.” She said the delay in the repatriation of funds of foreign airlines in the country assumed an embarrassing scenario when IATA lddddddd Nigeria as a debt-bearing nation.

According to her, NANTA embarked on empathy visits to all the foreign airlines to share in their pains. She said NANTA rubbed minds with the airlines on engaging government through the Ministry of Aviation and the Central Bank of Nigeria to readily find solutions to payment and release of the trapped funds. She noted that in the course of these strangulating circumstances, the airlines withdrew lower inventories across board, selling at the highest possible openings as a way to cushion their funds being trapped.
