The Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development has said the 300 dollars helicopter landing levy collection by its concessionaire has been suspended.<\/p>\n

Mr Odutayo Oluseyi, Head, Press and Public Affairs Unit of the ministry, disclosed this in a statement issued to newsmen on Friday in Lagos.<\/p>\n

Oluseyi said that the collection of the levy was temporarily halted to allow the ministry to address pressing concerns raised by industry players.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to set the record straight here by stating that the Minister, Mr Festus Keyamo, (SAN), temporarily suspended the project to take a deeper look into issues raised by stakeholders.<\/p>\n

\u201cContrary to reports, this suspension does not cancel the concession and mandate granted the consultants responsible for collecting the levy.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead, a comprehensive review is underway to address issues and develop a forward-thinking approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cA specially-constituted committee, comprising representatives of the ministry, its relevant agencies, Airline Operators of Nigeria and the International Oil Companies (IOCs), is working to achieve this goal,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n

According to him, the committee\u2019s primary objective is to develop a workable framework for implementing compliance with landing levy payments, ensuring a win-win situation for all stakeholders.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy doing so, the industry can move forward in a spirit of collaboration and mutual understanding,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that the committee\u2019s recommendations would be crucial in shaping the future of helicopter landing levy collection and ensure a sustainable and thriving aviation industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccurate reporting is central to the progress of the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy doing so, we can foster a more informed and supportive environment for the aviation industry to thrive.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s embrace this opportunity for constructive dialogue and collective growth.We urge all stakeholders to remain calm and supportive, as we work together toward a resolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aviation industry is a vital sector that deserves our collective effort to ensure its continued growth and success,\u201d Oluseyi stated.<\/p>\n
