The Federal Government has lifted the temporary suspension on enforcement of helicopter landing charges.
To this end, the government has allowed MESSRS NAEBI DYNAMIC CONCEPTS LTD to resume the collection of helicopter landing charges for air navigation services related to helicopter operations by oil companies in the Gulf of Guinea.
Spokesperson of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, NAMA Abdullahi Musa in a release said, a ministerial directive has directed Messrs Naebi Dynamics Concepts Ltd to immediately resume collection of levies related to air navigation services for helicopter operations by oil companies operations at fields, platforms, terminals, rigs, FPSOs (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading), heliports, helipads and aerodromes in line with its contract.
The directive also specified that Naebi Dynamic concept Ltd shall strictly invoice oil companies directly, but however excluded helicopters operated by Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) from the said levies by the consultant.
It will be recalled that the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo had in June 2024 temporarily suspended the collection of helicopter landing levies following concerns raised by Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON).
