Metro Private Jet Owners Begin Strike Over New Aviation Charges- LEADERSHIP

[abujagirl]

Private jet owners in the country yesterday commenced an indefinite strike over a directive from the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) announcing a new price regime for all private airlines operating in the country.

In a circular dated November 18, 2013, and signed by the agency’s director of operations, Mr J.C. Onyegiri, on behalf of the managing director, all foreign registered aircraft engaging in non-scheduled operations were directed to pay the sum of $3,000 fees for every departure except round trips without changes in passenger manifest or return ferry. Such fees, NAMA maintained, must be paid in advance and before any departure.

And who will be affected by this industrial action? Isn't it the rich people?
Plus there are better ways to respond to the new development than embarking on a strike.
