Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, has said Federal Government’s decision to grant a 30 per cent discount on statutory fees for domestic airline operators is aimed at reducing the cost of operations in the aviation industry, especially in Africa.

Keyamo, who called for actions to unlock Africa’s aviation potential, said the continent must move beyond policy declarations to tangible implementation of reforms that directly benefit airlines and passengers

The Minister’s Special Adviser on Media and Communications, Tunde Moshood, in a statement, noted that Keyamo said this at the just concluded African Air Transport Expo 2026, organised by the African Civil Aviation Commission, AFCAC, in Lomé, Togo.
