Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, says the Federal Government has approved a 30% discount on statutory fees for domestic airline operators. Keyamo presents the measure as part of efforts to reduce operating costs in the aviation sector, particularly in Africa, where he says costs and constraints can affect airline competitiveness. The minister frames the discount as a policy step intended to support domestic carriers and strengthen their capacity to operate more sustainably. The announcement is described as a government decision on statutory fees applicable to domestic airlines, though details such as the specific fee categories, implementation timeline, and eligibility conditions are not provided in the reports shared. Overall, the accounts depict the fee reduction as a cost-relief initiative aimed at improving the operating environment for domestic airlines under Nigeria’s aviation policy agenda.
