The AON in a statement signed by its spokesman, Prof Obiora
Okonkwo, said the scarcity would force airlines to reschedule flights, leading
to late operations and cancellations in some cases.
It stated that the unexpected development was a dent in
airline operators and the industry, especially at this time of mass movement of
people for the Christmas and New Year festivities.
The airline operators said, “While we do our utmost best to
manage the situation and ensure safe flight operations, we plead for the
understanding of the travelling public in the circumstance.
“We also call on the concerned authorities including product
importers and marketers to do their best to resolve this ugly situation so as
to ease the stress it brings on the travelling public.”
They reiterated their commitment to ensuring seamless
services and safe air travel in the country.
Aviation fuel scarcity had hit the domestic carrier a few
months ago after the price of the product rose from about N300 per litre to
over N600 per litre.
The President, Association of Foreign Airlines and
Representatives in Nigeria, Kingsley Nwokeoma, said there were fears that
domestic carriers might suspend operations over scarcity of aviation fuel.
