The Senate yesterday summoned Aviation and Aerospace Development Minister Festus Keyamo (SAN), airline operators and other stakeholders in the sector over incessant flight delays and cancellations in the country.
The Senate’s resolution followed its consideration, adoption and approval of a motion moved by the chairman of its Committee on Aviation, Abdulfatai Buhari, during plenary.
In his motion titled: Incessant delayed and cancelled flights by Airline Operators in Nigeria, Buhari, who is representing Oyo North in the National Assembly, noted that delayed and cancelled flights had become too frequent.
The senator said there were series of reports in the media on incessant delays and cancellation of flights by Airline Operators in Nigeria (AON).
He stressed that unwarranted flight delays and cancellations were counterproductive to the socio-economic growth and development of the country.
