Private jet owners in the
country yesterday commenced an indefinite strike over a directive from the
Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) announcing a new price regime for
all private airlines operating in the country.
In a circular dated November
18, 2013, and signed by the
agency’s director of operations, Mr J.C. Onyegiri, on behalf of the managing
director, all foreign
registered aircraft engaging in
non-scheduled operations were directed
to pay the sum of $3,000 fees for
every departure except round trips
without changes in passenger manifest or return ferry. Such fees, NAMA maintained, must be
paid in advance and before any departure.
The circular further
directed all Nigerian aircraft engaging in non-scheduled operations to pay the
sum of $2,500 as fees except round trips without changes in passenger manifest,
or return ferry adding that such fees must be paid in advance and before any
departure.
According to the circular,
the fees shall include landing, parking, navigational and terminal navigational
charges and shall be in respect of the first 10 hours after which additional
parking charges may apply.
