FAAN Increases Passenger Service Charge By 100% From September 1 by NwekeUG(m): 9:02am On Aug 28, 2020
FAAN doubles passenger service charge from Sept 1

Rabiu Yadudu, managing director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), says domestic airlines in the country will pay N2,000 as passenger service charge from September 1.

This is a 100 percent increase from the N1,000 currently paid by airlines.

Under the revised service charge, nternational passengers within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) region will pay $80 while others will pay $100.

Before the review, international passengers paid a flat rate of $50 as service charge.m

Speaking at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday, Yadudu said the current rates are no longer realistic.

“FAAN has not increased Passenger Service Charges (PSC) since 2011 in spite all the huge capital investment at our airport,” NAN quoted him to have said.

“The current PSC charge of N1, 000 is no longer realistic as it does not correlate with realities of cost-related inflation rate which the CBN put at 12.82 percent.

“Besides, FAAN, until late 2019 was collecting the naira equivalent of PSC at an official rate from N305.50 to N344.38 to a dollar.”

Yadudu said ICAO’s recommendation in ‘DOC.9562’ states that revenue generated by airports be transparently re-invested wholly in operating and developing airport facilities.

According to the MD, the federal government will increase its direct deduction from FAAN to 40 percent, a move that he says would make FAAN have over N16 billion shortfall on overhead cost.

He implored stakeholder, airport users and the general public to bear with FAAN as it is laden with so much overhead cost of operation.

He said it would be necessary to roll out new advisories for airlines and air travellers in preparation for the resumption of scheduled international airlines into the country.

Yadudu said the government would communicate same to the general public as soon as new advisories were ready.

Very useless country.

Instead of fixing the inflation of the currency even the government is raising prices of things. Later their pleas will go out to the average Nigerian businessman not to increase costs of things like foodstuffs.

Its okay

They always increase our own every day as there's no fixed price for road transport in Nigeria.

Raining period in Lagos its time for Danfo, Keke, Okada, Molue to hike, Oshodi to Mushin is 300 and you must enter with your change.


You hear conductor shouting....... No change no change 500 naira mawole oh 300 naira wole.

there is no passenger services be rendered by FAAN to any passenger!

all they do is to attach that yellow sticker (with NGN1,000 INSCRIBED on it) to your boarding pass!

You go still trek enter the plane for tarmac!

Not enough seats for waiting passengers !

You must pay To seat on those FAAN brown cushion at the airports......

it is only in Nigeria u can increase prices of things because u did same last in 2011 not because there is actually a need per se!
