Aviation group AON is urging Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu to review aviation taxes it says are becoming unsustainable for airlines. According to reports, AON’s vice president, Allen Onyema, argues that excessively high levies raise operating costs and could contribute to airline collapse if not addressed. The group’s request is framed as part of broader concerns about the financial pressures facing the sector, including rising costs that affect airlines’ ability to remain viable.
In addition to the tax review demand, AON also calls for an economic boycott of South Africa. The move is presented as a response to renewed xenophobic attacks in South Africa, which have prompted criticism from Nigerians and broader public debate about the treatment of Nigerians and other groups in the country.
The two issues are reported together as part of AON’s wider advocacy on both domestic aviation policy and regional economic responses. The sources emphasize AON’s position and concerns, while not detailing any specific government action or timeline for a review.
