ATSSSAN calls on FG to review NAMA navigational charges

The Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN) has urged the Federal Government to review navigational charges imposed by the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA). This call highlights ongoing concerns within the aviation sector about the impact of these charges on operations.

The Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN) has made a formal appeal to the Federal Government of Nigeria to reassess the navigational charges set by the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA). This request comes amid broader discussions in the aviation industry regarding the financial burdens placed on stakeholders.

ATSSSAN, representing senior staff in air transport services, argues that a review is necessary to ensure the sustainability and efficiency of Nigeria's airspace management. While specific details on the charges or proposed adjustments were not outlined in available reports, the association's position underscores the need for balanced policies that support the sector's growth.

The Nigerian aviation landscape has long grappled with regulatory and economic challenges, and this call aligns with efforts to address operational costs. No immediate response from the Federal Government or NAMA has been reported, leaving the outcome of the review uncertain.
