Aviation industry regulator-the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority-is considering a major review of domestic airlines’ operating licence fees and other charges, in order to ensure its bills are in tandem with current realities and what obtains in other countries.
The Director-General, NCAA, Captain Nuhu Musa, made the disclosure during an interview in Lagos on Friday.
He said the regulator was subsidising the industry considering how low its charges had remained over the years, pointing out that it was imperative to embark on a major upward review of the charges.
According to him, the agency does not benefit from allocations and it is not out place to ensure proper charges are given.
This, he said, would enhance the regulatory agency’s capacity to meet its needs especially the training of its personnel.
