Following threats by some aviation unions to crack down on airlines over the non-remittance of the statutory five per cent Ticket Sales Charge, TSC, the Airline Operators of Nigeria, AON, has dismissed the planned action and warned against any disruption of flight operations.
TSC is a statutory levy collected by airlines from passengers and remitted to the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA.
Secretary of the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, ATSSSAN, Frances Akinjole, and the Deputy General Secretary of the National Union of Air Transport Employees, NUATE, Odinaka Igbokwe, had said some airlines failed to remit the TSC.
According to them, the non-remittance had continued to deprive aviation agencies of funds needed to sustain safe and efficient operations.
