How are state owned airports putting a financial burden on the Federal government specifically FAAN which is essentially a service provider and NACA which is a regulator.

FAAN has no business at state airports. These airports should have their own gear to handle their business at their own costs.

As for the regulator it is just a matter of sending them a bill for supervising traffic and airlines.

Transportation is a business where every cost factor should be met with preset payment plans leaving no ambiguity whatsoever.

If a state wants an international airport or upgrade to international status then it must be prepared to pay the customs, immigration, ndlea, and other agencies for their services or they will not get certification, period. That is the way it should work.

The Nigeria state is a lazy thinking one. The present structure of the country does not lend a hand to its development.

At this rate when will we get to the point where companies and private individuals will own airfields and airstrips respectively.

ANYBODY ATTACHING ANY SIGNIFICANCE TO PORT HARCOURT SHOULD GO AND LIVE IN PORT HARCOURT.

EVER SINCE ABADON PROPERTIES, IGBO LEFT THAT CITY AND NEVER LOOKED BACK.

AMAECHI DELAYED ENUGU AIRPORT AND TRIED TO CANCEAL IT BECAUSE HE WANTED PORT HARCOURT TO MONOPOLISE AIRPORT.


WE RESPONDED BY BUILDING AIRPORTS IN ANAMBRA AND EBONYI.


ABIA WILL SOON BUILD THEIR OWN AIRPORT.

WE WONT TOLERATE ANY INSULT FROM ANYBODY FURTHER AND MAKING EFFORT TO PUT ESSENTIALS ON OUR LAND TO MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE AND LIVEABLE.


THE SAME WAY WE TURNED OUR BACKS ON PORT HARCOURT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DO TO LAGOS AND EXIT NIGERIA.

Amaechi did no wrong. You guys should stop using propaganda against your fellow Igbos out of ignorance. Ebonyi Airport is a misplaced priority and Abia doesn't need an Airport. From Aba to Owerri or Port Harcourt Airport is shorter than Ikeja to Lekki so there's no need wasting money on Airport. What oir Governors should focus on is rail transport.

Sam Mbakwe airport Owerri is busier than Aminu Kano airport Kano, so how did the later end up being more viable?

Again, travelers using Owerri airport are more likely to pay more fees because people in the catchment area has more disposable income. Lol, ethnocentrism will never allow this country to work.


@me
You mean that you know more than the experts running the airports? The four airports host international flights. This adds to their viability.

I'm tired of the way our people reason. Everything is victim mentality. Experts were in a conference discussing issues based on information at their and our people are in social media shouting marginalisation. The same thing all the time.

You can insult me but I will neither read it nor reply. Nobody takes us serious anymore.

STOP WASTING YOUR TIME WITH THOSE CLOWNS.

They want to keep us out of our region, to force us to keep living in their parts of Nigeria.

Let me say this again: The most strategic thing that an Igbo person can do in Nigeria is to VOW to NEVER live outside of South East in Nigeria.

And if the person insist on living there, to ensure that at least 80 - 90% of his or her money goes back to SOUTH EAST.

Some of our people are already doing so, and that is why South East is the fastest growing region in Nigeria today. FACT!

If we do this regardless of their evil schemes, we will have the Nigeria we want: A Nigeria where the horse will pull the cart rather than the cart stopping the horse from moving forward.

A 56 year old evil strategy against us can be defeated this way.

What do you mean by victim mentality? Are you okay at all? Are you even educated up to secondary school?

I gave you facts why Aminu Kano airport can't possibly be more viable than Sam Mbakwe airport Owerri, but instead of reasoning objectively you started talking nonsense.

It is due to lack of common sense that made corrupt politicians to be ruining your lives. SMH.

ALL I WILL SAY IS THIS, ABIA STATE MUST WORK TOWARDS BUILDING AN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TERMINAL THERE.


THAT IS ALL I WILL SAY AND I'M VERY GLAD THAT PDP LEFT ABIA STATE AND THAT PARTY SHOULD NEVER RETURN.


FROM THIS DAY AND FOREVER, LABOUR AND APGA.


ALL IGBOS READING THIS POST SHOULD WRITE THE ABIA STATE GOV TO MAKE PLANS TOWARDS BUILDING AN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

VeeVeeMyLuv:

Indeed. And as I have been saying for years. The health of the aviation sector is incumbent on the viability of the middle class. It is the middle class that travels not the rich or the poor.


That middle class was more or less lost in the 80' and ever since the aviation industry has become a meat grinder, chopping up and spitting out one brand after the other in short order including the national carrier and all attempts at reviving it.

It is simply the case of an economic structure that is not fit to support aviation as the causative and not the symptoms of unviable airports the man talks about.

Nwanne e be like say you be my twin brother!

ANY REGION IN NIGERIA THAT DONT NEED AIRPORTS SHOULD STAY WITHOUT AIRPORT BUT DONT TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF FROM ZAMFARA TO COME AND TELL PEOPLE IN ANAMBRA THEY DONT NEED AIRPORT.


SAY WAITIN HAPPEN NOW?


THAT WE ARE NOT USING AK47 TO GUN OURSELVES DOWN OR WHAT EXACTLY?


WE DID NOT STOP U BUILDING WHATEVER IN ZAMFARA DONT GET YOURSELF INVOLVE WITH OUR PROJECTS.


BUHARI BUILT A TRAIN IN SW AND NORTH AND EVEN IN NIGER REPUBLI BUT THE SE DONT DESERVE NONE.


THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES AND WE UNDERSTOOD VERY WELL.


WE DONT WANT TO HEAR A WORD, KEEP IT SHUT AND WE WILL BUILD WHETHER YOU CRY OR NOT.

This has always been a well-known fact.

MMIA leads in daily air traffic and annual revenue.

Mbok, you mean those overhyped airstrips in the barren land can't sustain themselves?

Things like this should be fed to dogs.

Do you know how many comments I report? I'm not even bothered so much about the one comment as much as the pattern and his signature. I used to think Mark Zuckerberg was insane with Facebook censorship but seeing all the tribalists on Nairaland convinced me moderation is necessary.
Also, your hate can't do nothing to me. I'm from a minority tribe and tired of the shit show by the overgrown tribal babies

First off you are very ignorant. I am not Ikwerre and Ikwerre is dry fertile land not creeks and being Igbo or not doesn't change the proximity of Aba to Port Harcourt Airport. Ignorance is indeed a big disease and Amaechi said he is Igbo many times.

No single Airport from the Igbo land is Economical impacted...

Hmmm

This right here makes no sense:
He also highlighted that the increasing construction of airports by state governors places a growing regulatory burden on the agency.

I don't understand why FG must fund unviable ones at the detriments of the productive ones. AS partners, both parties should have an MOU indicating the limit of commitment.
THAT would deter those who goes into it without proper plan

pandax:


The so-called unviable airports are keeping the viable ones in business. Imagining closing down all the unviable airports that have passenger traffic of over 2m in 2021, this will lead to 2m reduction in passenger traffic of Lagos & Abuja, as they are the originating airports to these so-called unviable destinations. Think!!!

DID I ask for their closure？ I only ask for the facilitators to bear the cost of running the facilities and not shift the responsibility onto FAAN. Besides, what's the essence of the traffic they generated into the viable ones WHEN THE BULK OF THE MONEY IS STILL GOING TO HEAD BACK TO THEIR （non-viable ones） MAINTENANCE？
