The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) local routes would soon return to boom.
Managing Director of NAMA Engineer Mazi Nnamdi Udoh said he is confident that new investors would soon come to invest in the local routes.
He hinged his hopes on the talks with potential investors by the federal ministry of aviation during the recent road show outing by the ministry. At the moment, few airlines are flying Nigeria’s local routes, a situation that is stressing the airlines and raising safety concerns as their aircrafts are overworked.
Speaking at the Special General Meeting of National Association of Aeronautical Engineers at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority in Lagos, he said the interest being indicated by the investors was a fall out of the road show embarked upon by the ministry of aviation.
He said: “The issue is all about the management of those airlines, that is why we are now helping those airlines and new ones to come back to business and also help them with better enabling environment so that those airlines will not go underground anymore.
Asked if the decline in domestic operators has impacted on the revenue generation of the agencies in the sector, Udoh stated that the revenue generations of the agencies have improved despite the reduction domestic operators.
