Nigeria's domestic air traffic is set to face disruptions in 2026. The Air Traffic and 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 in the aviation sector.
The announcement of domestic air traffic disruptions in 2026 has raised alarms within Nigeria's aviation industry. According to reports, these issues stem from unresolved matters related to operational costs and regulations.
ATSSSAN has specifically called on the federal government to review the navigational charges set by NAMA. This appeal comes amid broader challenges in air traffic management that could impact flight schedules and safety.
In related developments, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and CFM International have renewed their agreement on engine maintenance, potentially offering some support to airlines. Separately, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) has appointed new managing directors and partners in Lagos, signaling continued business growth in the region.
While details on the exact causes of the 2026 disruptions remain limited, stakeholders emphasize the need for prompt government intervention to mitigate risks to domestic travel.
