The President of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, Alex Nwuba, has stated that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz is not the primary concern for the aviation sector, emphasizing instead the impact of global aviation fuel pricing.

Nwuba made the remarks on Saturday during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.

He addressed the ongoing issue of aviation fuel scarcity and the association’s proposed strike action.

According to him, the threat by airline operators to embark on a strike on Monday was intended to draw the attention of the Federal Government to what he described as a critical situation within the aviation industry.

“Airlines have been facing price increases that have tripled, and the airlines cannot raise fares because we are essentially maxed out on what consumers are able to pay.

“Unlike some other nations, our challenges are not as a result of supply shortages thanks to the local refining capacity of the Dangote Refinery but on international pricing,” he said.
