Mr. Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and I Development has decried the continuous death of indigestion airlines, promising that the Federal Government would henceforth support the carriers.

Keyamo has also threatened to cancel some contracts in the sector that are not to the benefit of Nigerians.

He specifically mentioned that some contracts entered into by the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) are obsolete and require reviews.

Speaking at the Aviation Industry Stakeholders Forum held in Lagos on Saturday, Keyamo lamented that at least 100 airlines have collaoded in the last 20 to 25 years.

He, however, said that the Federal Government would help the operators to grow, but the airlines, too must be ready to show seriousness about their operations.

Keyamo said that the essence of the stakeholders meeting was to receive inputs fromprofessionals in the sector, stressing that their inputs would have value to the roadmap that the Industry would prioritise to make the aviation sector world class and meet the aspirations of Nigerians and all aviation stakeholders.

He added: We should desist from game blame and focus on solving the problems in the industry. (Saturday Independent)
