NAAPE urges FG to intervene in aviation fuel scarcity crisis
The National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE) has urged the federal government to intervene in the aviation fuel scarcity crisis.
The National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE) has observed that the hike in price of aviation fuel in the country and the scarcity of the products is capable of crippling domestic operators and by extension, the Nigerian aviation industry.
NAAPE in a statement signed by Abednego Galadima, the President said the association is very worried about the issue as it has made traveling very difficult for passengers and caused much disruption in the operations of domestic airlines.
Abednego stated that the industry is still recovering from the negative impact of the pandemic and many airlines haven’t completely recovered.
He said: “If this issue of scarcity is not immediately addressed by the Federal Government, not only would the airlines be negatively impacted, the ripple effect will be felt in the aviation downstream sector which may lead to job losses.
It has been reported that the House of Representatives will convene a meeting of industry stakeholders with a view to solving the issue. But we don’t want it to stop at that.
NAAPE president urged the House as a matter of urgency to address the issues causing the scarcity and price hike so that normalcy can return to the industry.
