After 35 years of being in operation, the Federal Government recently approved a new Safety Threshold Ground Handling Charges for ground handling firms operating in the country's aviation sector.
Daily Trust reports that the new approval gives a N15bn boost to the aviation sector. Aviation safety, according to stakeholders, starts from the ground. The takeoff and landing of any aircraft globally depends on carrying out the due diligence from the ground. Passenger facilitation, disembarkation, baggage handling, ramp inspection, among others are some of the responsibilities of ground handling organizations. They are therefore as critical as any stakeholder in the sector.
