Nigeria- According to a report from National Mirror, FG is set to cut the multiple charges on airlines operating in the country in order to improve their financial wherewithal and make them up to standard with the international community.

“There is a prevalence of inaccurate computation of statutory charges and non-remittance of charges collected from passengers to appropriate aviation authorities. From the tickets analysed, some airline operators deliberately charge as high as nine per cent of base fare as ticket sales charge as against the statutory five per cent that is expected to be remitted to the government through the NCAA.” a committee members says, sparking hopes that flight fares will be reduced in the near future.

“But I can tell you, the airlines will smile as some reductions will definitely come,” he said.
