Aviation industry experts have disclosed that capital flight from the aviation sector in Nigeria had reached over $7 billion as at ending of last year.
The amount, according to them included the funds moved overseas by international carriers and money spent by local airlines for aircraft maintenance and spares.
Two years ago, the World Bank put the total money taken overseas from Africa to about $10 billion and Nigeria s contribution to about 60 per cent.
Nigeria is said to be the highest contributor to capital flight from Africa in the aviation sector because over 90 per cent of its international traffic is serviced by foreign carriers. Also,camisa do messi barcelona infantil, the technical manpower in the industry are expatriates and Nigeria does not have major maintenance facility so every critical check is done overseas.
To cut down the huge resources taken overseas, inustry experts are of the view that Nigeria must have major maintenance facility,imagenes de la camiseta de uruguay, strong airlines that would erode the dominance of foreign carriers in airlifting passengers to international destinations and government should also review multi entry of foreign carriers.
They noted that if Nigeria has strong airlines,camiseta real madrid 2011 barata, the country will introduce a policy that will make it compulsory for international operators to code-share or partner with domestic airlines.
That, they further argued will help to keep some money that are today taken overseas in the country as the local airlines would distribute passengers to domestic destination,camisetas de todos los equipos de inglaterra, receive technical support from their foreign counterparts,camiseta del real madrid 2013 adidas, which may include training.
Industry analyst, Francis Ayigbe said if Nigeria does not have Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility her airlines will continue to repatriate huge resources to maintain their aircraft overseas.
According to Ayigbe, not having MRO facility has left Nigerian aviation sector many years with no choice than to take aircraft abroad for maintenance. He said airlines would ferry the aircraft to Europe, for example; it would pay for fuel,camiseta universidad de chile 2013 segundo semestre, pay for crew allowance and also queue for the maintenance, which means that the aircraft would have to spend days to weeks at the facility.
Depending on the level of maintenance and which country and facility, the average cost of C-Check is about $500,000 but it could be higher for express service.
Besides,nueva camiseta futbol club barcelona, more than 85 per cent of the revenues earned by foreign carriers are repatriated,camiseta real madrid manga larga, local carriers also take huge resources earned locally to pay for aircraft parts,camiseta del real madrid talla xxl, maintenance and expatriates employed by the airlines also repatriate their remuneration overseas.
Ayigbe posited that until Nigeria has a very strong airline that can compete with foreign carriers, the international operators will continue to dominate the nation s airspace,venta de camisetas deportivas en chile, adding that government may stop multidesignation of foreign carriers but the problem can only be solved when the country develops a strong carrier or carriers that are competitive.
He also said the policy that will make it compulsory that foreign carriers must partner with domestic airlines will become possible when Nigerian airlines have consistent on-time-performance in their take-offs and landings as high as 80 per cent or above.

As long as Nigerian airlines are weak and fragmented,camiseta fluorescente universidad de chile, it will be difficult for Nigeria to compete with these foreign carriers that operate into the country. So Nigeria needs strong airlines and this could be guaranteed by national or strong flag carriers and establishment of MRO facility,camisa italia buscape, Ayigbe added.相关的主题文章：
