The operators of airlines in Nigeria have justified the delay and cancellations of domestic flights in the Country. The operators hinged the reasons on non-availability and rising cost of aviation fuel, also known as JetA1 and inadequate parking spaces at airports.
The operators, led by the Chairman of Air Peace, Mr. Allen Onyema, stated this when they appeared before the Senate Committee on Aviation chaired by Senator Smart Adeyemi.
He also demanded the prosecution of unruly passengers at the Airports.
Mr. Onyema claimed that on several occasions, JetA1 has been scarce nationwide, affecting airline
operations around the Country but, the members of the Committee kicked against the reasons presented by the Airline Operators and asked them to urgently address the situation.
