The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) chapter of the National Association of Air Traffic Engineers (NAAE) has rejected a recent position by the association’s national leadership on the proposed review of the Ticket Sales Charge (TSC) sharing formula, warning that any reduction in the regulator’s allocation could undermine aviation safety oversight in Nigeria.
The NCAA chapter, in a communiqué signed by its Chairman, Agunloye Fredrick O., said the position credited to the National President of NAAE did not represent the views of its members because the chapter was neither consulted nor carried along before the publication.
The group said issues concerning the TSC sharing formula required broad consultation among stakeholders due to the importance of the charge to the operations of aviation agencies.
“We therefore dissociate ourselves from the publication and respectfully state that it should not be interpreted as the collective position of all NAAE members across the aviation industry,” the communiqué stated.
