They are not viable at moment. Its waste of money to spend any more funds creating a structure that needs subsidy to operate. 2 Shares

The solution should be regionalism, let every region determine what they want to do or don't want to do. The useless method of the federal government trying to hold back some regions by claiming that they don't have money is totally unproductive. There are some regions that by nature are not business inclined, regions that don't need the airport can close their airports and those that need more can open more in every state. 13 Likes |

Remove aviation from exclusive list and allow states to operate airports. If the FG wants to control everything then they should stop complaining of the burden. 11 Likes |

mrvitalis:I studied that stat. The @op didnt post the breakdown. Owerri, though it ran negative was the fourth on the line if u factor in everything. This guy don't want to post the whole breakdown for reasons best known to him. I never knew owerri is that busy. Had Enugu airport been up and doing, it will generate revenue very well. Let me look for that post. 9 Likes |

SLAP44: This issue has nothing to do with a lack regionalism. Akwa Ibom has it's own stste owned airport opperates it with no issues. Other states are building their own for better or worse. States can either buy the airports from the FG or ask them to complete concession process. |

A fact-sheet of revenue and expenditure of the 20 federal airports and FAAN headquarters in the last three years, obtained by The Guardian, showed huge revenue shortfall and deficits across the board. For instance, the Kaduna International Airport that was upgraded during the 2017 closure of Abuja airport has in the last three years pooled a total of N1.027 billion in generated revenue. Of the sum, N716.7 million was collected. However, the expenditure was in excess of N4.41 billion, leaving a deficit of N3.69 billion. The Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, did not fare better. The airport in 2017, 2018 and 2019 pooled a total of N8.28 billion in generated revenue and collected N7.16 billion but its expenditure totalled N9.6 billion, leaving a shortfall of N2.44 billion. The Kastina Airport managed to make a total of N250.8 million in generated revenue in three years, out of which only N42.1 million was collected. Its cost of operations was put at N1.58 billion, leaving a deficit balance of N1.54 billion. In the same situation, Sokoto Airport had a total of N725.7 million generated revenue, out of which N400.1 million was collected. The cost of operation was in excess of N2.71 billion, which gave a shortage of N2.31 billion. In the South, Ibadan airport in three years made a total of N349.2 million in generated revenue and collected N244.9 million. The expenditure amounted to N1.39 billion with a deficit of N1.14 billion. Ilorin International Airport generated a total of N437.1 million revenue in three years and collected N264.2 million. The expenditure was in excess of N2.453 billion, giving a shortfall of N2.19 billion. Ditto for Akure airport. The facility pooled a total of N175.8 million in generated revenue and collected N168.7 million. But the expenditure was N1.06 billion, leaving a difference of N893.7 million. The Benin airport in Edo State also ran at a loss. The airport generated a total of N993.2 million in three years and collected N930.1 million. The total cost of operations was put N2.02 billion, leaving a shortfall of N1.09 billion. The Margaret Ekpo International Airport, Calabar, had a total of N540.8 million generated revenue, though collected more put at N559.6 million, the expenditure was as much as N2.50 billion, giving a deficit of N1.94 billion. Similarly, Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri, amassed a total of N1.25 billion in generated revenue and collected N1.08 billion. Expenditure was, however, N2.50 billion, with a shortage of N1.42 billion. 6 Likes |

Blue3k: Of course, you are saying the same thing I am saying, which is that the FG should remove their leprous fingers from viable investments. Whether state, regional or individual control of the airport will still be profitable. 3 Likes |

Even from the report given by federal airport authority,Enugu airport before the questionble closure by FG was ahead of portharcourt airport and hence very viable. We know those who travel a lot for business and i insist,FG must invest seriously towards completion of the so called renovation at the Enugu international airport. if half of the money spent on kaduna airport can be invested in Enugu international airport then Nigeria will defintely be better for it. Like people often say 'every disappointment is a blessing'.left for the questionable closure of Enugu international airport by FG late last year,just may be the corona virus cases in the East may have been alarming...everything under the sun happens for a purpose,God bless Africa,God bless Us all. 12 Likes |

SLAP44: That last sentence isn't true. Even the article everyone is citing doesn't believe that. Most of the airports get little traffic to begin with. That's why it was suggested the be concessioned in blocks. The Guardian learnt that the poor revenue and zero profit sprees were not unconnected with the perennially low traffic inflow in and out of the airports. |

If a state is created today their first ambition is airport. Every state needs airfields but not every state needs airport. In SW for instance I willl recommemd airport for Lagos and Osun, thats it! Ekiti, Ondo can use Airport at Osun as their primary. The airport must be located away from any State capital. Carriage ways built to connect it to the states served primarily by it - Osun, Ekiti, Ondo. It serves as backup for Lagos, Ogun, Oyo. Lagos airport will serve Ogun, Oyo as primary and secondary for Ekiti, Osun, Ondo. 3 Likes 1 Share |
