The first cargo plane
yesterday landed at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu. The landing
of the Ethiopian Airline Boeing 757 cargo plane was witnessed by an
enthusiastic crowd and other dignitaries including Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
Addressing the large
crowd of people on the occasion, Governor Ugwanyi described the incident as a
historic occasion that would increase the profile of the airport and boost the
economy of the state and the entire South East zone.
Trying Times for
Nigeria’s Aviation
“The industry
is sick beyond remedy. The industry is going in one direction, government on
another and government goes the other way because the players are singing
discordant tunes”.
The above were the
words of President of the industry think-thank group, Aviation Round Table,
Elder Gabriel Olowo voicing out his frustration on the numerous challenges
confronting the nation’s aviation sector at a recent ART Forum.
Indeed his comment
could not be further from truth as the aviation sector wobbles under the abyss
of high exchange rate which has made the business of aviation very
‘prohibitive’ according to airline operators; scarcity of aviation fuel,
dwindling
passengers/dwindling
revenue; unending controversy over debt; dearth of skilled workforce/ageing
workforce, among others.
