Yes No Indifferent View results NAMA Accuses Airline Operators of Blackmail By Ndubuisi Francis, Vivian Ezenwoko and Adeleke Emmanuel, 12.11.2004 A day after four airlines had their operations disrupted by the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) over  non remittance of ticket sales charge (TSC), NAMA has described the reaction of the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) that airlines were being asked to pay "overflyers charges" as nothing but blackmail. NAMA said the sanction on the affected airlines has yielded positive results as the affected airlines and other indebted ones which were not grounded on Thursday have started paying, insisting that no amount of blackmail by AON would deter it from recovering the debts owed. NAMA  in its reaction through its Head Public Affairs, Mr. Ben Bem Goong stated yesterday that as a legally constituted organisation which has immense respect for the rule of law, it would not run foul of the laws of the land bearing in mind that a court of competent jurisdiction is already adjudicating over the issue of over flyer charges. Over flyer charges, he said, could not have been the issue in question for  grounding  the airlines as imputed in the AON reaction, saying the association was mixing up issues. Goong said taking the action against the airlines was a painful but unavoidable decision, adding NAMA or NCAA would not take delight in seeing  the demise of any airline. According to him, the success and continued existence of the airlines also ensure the existence of the aviation parastatals and   added that the more the airlines. the better for the organisations.   Lagos Floors FG at Supreme Court 12.11.2004 03:58 ...Presidency, Lagos PDP Claim Victory 12.11.2004 03:57 Immunity: Dariye Drags EFCC to Court 12.11.2004 03:55 OPEC Cuts Output by 1m BPD 12.11.2004 03:53 2005 Budget: Bayelsa LG Chairmen Get Utimatum 12.11.2004 03:43 NEPA Reiterates Position on Transparency 12.11.2004 03:42 2007: Coordinator Predicts Victory for Babangida 12.11.2004 03:42 HIV/AIDS Tour Continues Despite Disappointment 12.11.2004 03:40 Obasanjo Congratulates Presidents Kuffour, Tandja on Re-election 12.11.2004 03:39 Head of Service to Conduct Promotion Exercise 12.11.2004 03:39     REMAIN INFORMED WE SEND IT TO YOUR MAIL THISDAY NEWSLETTER Name E-Mail   Who We Are | THISDAY People | Contact Us © Copyright 2000-2004 Leaders & Company Limited This Site Created by White Pages Limited
