Aviation in Nigeria
Nigeria is a country that is rich in natural resources, but it has struggled to establish itself as an economically prosperous nation. The aviation industry in Nigeria has been challenging due to the lack of infrastructure and funding for airport maintenance. Low air traffic volume and profit margins, coupled with high operating costs and poor quality control standards have prevented airlines from being profitable. With Africa’s largest economy at $510 billion dollars according to the CIA World Factbook, Nigeria needs to take steps towards developing its aviation industry if it wants to compete globally.
The Nigerian aviation industry is a rapidly growing sector in the country and has seen exponential growth in recent years. The Ministry of Aviation (Nigeria) projects that by 2021, Nigeria will be one of the top ten largest air carriers globally with an annual revenue exceeding $6 billion USD. This rapid growth can be attributed to many factors including:
-The 2015 opening of Murtala Muhammed International Airport which served as an alternative airport for Lagos -The increased economic activity due to oil production and natural gas exports since 2010 -A robust regional airline market coupled with a population boom -An increase in internet usage over mobile networks, which facilitates e-commerce transactions.
The aviation industry in Nigeria has been growing steadily and is expected to continue this trend. In the past few years, more airlines are operating within Nigerian airspace which has led to a growth of passengers and cargo. Furthermore, there have been investments by foreign investors into Nigerian airports such as Lagos Airport that will allow for a robust infrastructure for future development of the country’s aviation sector.
About Green Africa Airways
An airline company of a different kind, Green Africa Airways was founded in 2015 to bring low-cost air service to the Nigerian travel market. At launch, it became one of only two carriers with an all-female staff and pilots. Underneath their sleek exterior lie customers who have been underserved by Nigeria’s high-cost airlines for too long: this is no time for passengers on tight budgets or lower-income groups wanting accessibility from remote areas across the nation.
