LEADERSHIP Weekend had reported Tuesday, that the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), had raised the alarm that multiple taxation and forex instability had driven the cost of operation up.
Speaking, the spokesman of AON, Prof. Obiora Okonkwo, said, due to these factors, the price of local airline tickets will continue to rise across the country.
Okonkwo argued that airlines operating in Nigeria are overburdened by multiple taxation, saying the forex regime of about N1,605.00 to one dollar, is impacting negatively on local airlines.
