By: Amadi Vincent Uzoma


Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, on Friday, announced the suspension of the controversial $300 helicopter landing fee subcontracted to Messrs. NAEBI Dynamic Concept Limited.
The move, effective from May 30, resonated strongly with Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), which has vehemently rejected the harsh tariff, insisting that it is detrimental commercially for aviation helicopter operators and the Nigerian economy in general.


Keyamo announced the suspension in a statement signed by Odutayo Oluseyi, spokesperson for the ministry.
He said further action in this regard will be taken after the review committee submits its report for consideration.
“The statement further read: “Accordingly, Keyamo constituted a committee comprising members from the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development and relevant agencies, the Nigerian Aviation Operators (AON), oil companies (IOC) and Messers NAEBI Dynamic.


Concept Ltd is responsible for examining the issues raised by stakeholders and submitting a report by the end of June 2024. “Mrs. NAEBI Dynamic Concept Ltd has been granted exclusive rights by the Federal Government as a consultant to collect samples where the relevant parties have expressed reservations about their suitability. The Commission’s recommendations will provide a way forward.
Keyamo’s change of location came as a surprise as he made the decision on May 14, asking those who thought the ministry was bluffing when it recently announced a new $300 landing fee for machine operators Helicopter rethinking making this tax permanent.
