The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, has debunked reports trending on social media that the agency was planning to reintroduce $300 landing fee for helicopter operators, stating that the report was far from the truth.
In a statement by the Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Abdullahi Musa on Friday which was made available to CAPITAL POST in Abuja, said, the matter has been suspended following the intervention of the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Barrister Festus Keyamo.
The statement read: “The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) hereby dissociates itself from a trending story to the effect that it is planning a reintroduction of the $300 landing fee from helicopter operators in the country.
“This issue has been put on hold since May 2024 with the intervention of the Hon. Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo who, along with the agency is still making consultations with critical stakeholders on the matter. The insinuation therefore is baseless, unofficial and was never in the contemplation of the agency.
“NAMA wishes to use this medium and disabuse the minds of operators and airspace users generally about the said misleading publication. For the avoidance of doubt, the agency as a law-abiding corporate citizen of this country cannot embark on such a venture without recourse to extant rules and adequate input and buy-in from the concerned stakeholders.
“The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) therefore uses this medium to advice helicopter operators to go about their legitimate duties as the agency continues to work assiduously towards ensuring the safety of air navigation in the country.”
