The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), has been authorised by the federal government to enforce levies for helicopter landings
This is even as the government has granted NAEBI Dynamic Concepts Limited sole authorization to administer helicopter landing fees for federal entities.
This information was detailed in a communication provided by the Press and Public Affairs Manager of the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Odutayo Oluseyi.
Oluseyi said this suggested action would assist the federal government in enhancing funding for the agency to ensure top-notch security and surveillance, as well as enhancing the general quality of helicopter operations within the nation.
The statement also stated that NAEBI Dynamic is responsible for collecting these fees on behalf of NAMA, the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, and the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority.
According to him, “The Federal Government of Nigeria has granted NAEBI Dynamic Concepts Limited exclusive rights to collect helicopter landing levies in line with the MoU between NAEBI Concept and NAMA (focal agency), Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority.
“It is instructive to note that NAMA under the Act as amended in 2022, is empowered to collect aeronautical revenues in both the upper and lower airspace to support her self-sustainability. However, over the years, NAMA has predominantly relied on the upper airspace for its revenue generation.
