Financial Fragility Behind Systemic Problems in Aviation Sector, Says Sanusi
Captain Ado Sanusi, Managing CEO of Aero Contractors Limited, highlighted the financial fragility plaguing the Nigerian aviation industry as a systemic problem. He pointed to recent incidents like the unruly passenger on ValueJet and Ibom Air as symptoms of this larger issue.
Sanusi emphasized that airlines and aviation agencies face challenges due to inadequate funding and high interest rates, exacerbated by the government's failure to remit funds. He called for a comprehensive overhaul of the regulatory framework and enforcement culture to address the root causes of the industry's problems.
Sanusi stressed the need for a proactive approach to prevent future calamities and ensure passenger rights are protected. He warned against superficial fixes and urged a deeper examination of the industry's structural issues.
