The chairman of Air Peace, Allen Onyema has warned that all Airlines in the country would shut down in three days time, over the non-availability of Aviation fuel to run their operations.
Nigerian Airline Operators are urging the federal government to grant them operational licenses so they can import fuel following the recent fuel scarcity across the country.
We have only three more days, all airlines in Nigeria will shut down. We are not threatening this country, it is a fact”, Onyema said.
Onyema stated this while at a meeting of oil marketers and Airline operators at the National Assembly.
Also in attendance at the meeting is the NNPC CEO, Mele Kyari and other stakeholders.
“I have the mandate of all airlines to demand that Airlines begin importation of fuel. If we can buy planes worth millions of dollars, we can also import fuel ourselves. Let NNPC give Airlines licenses, we want to import ourselves,” Onyema insisted.
