“This development is being forced on members by the growing scarcity of aviation fuel.

“The scarcity is impacting negatively on the conduct of air transport operations and would lead to flight rescheduling or cancellations,’’ the spokesperson, Prof. Obiora Okonkwo, stated.

He assured, however, that the association was working very hard with fuel marketers, government and relevant stakeholders to ensure availability and proper pricing of aviation fuel.

Okonkwo pleaded with the flying public for understanding and promised that the association would take all necessary steps to restore normal flight schedules as soon as possible. (NAN)
