As part of the remodelling exercise going on across the nation’s aviation industry, the Ministry of Aviation has disclosed that it is strategising to get 30 more aircraft as a deliberate intervention to make air fare cheaper and affordable to the common man, and aviation business more profitable to the nation.
General Manager, Corporate Communications, Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Mr. Yakubu Dati, who disclosed these in Jos, the Plateau State capital, while inspecting construction works going on at the Yakubu Gowon Airport, added that the ministry is also considering Aerotropolis, where cities would be built around airports; such that hotels and conference halls are built around the airports to cater for accommodation and business meetings.
