RE: STARVING THE AIRPORT MANAGERS OF RUNNING FUNDS

It very true the airports are generally staved of these funds. Why the management introduced this option is not too clear. Are the managers misappropriating this fund or is FAAN not having the requisite funds to disburse to the airports as done in past?

The unviable airports are in dire state, as their managers owe contractors and other utility bills that have necessitated some them to switch off their phones for fear of creditors or practically run the airports from hideouts within the airport vicinity.

The government should simply fast track the airport clustering concession process as opined early this year, is the best option out of this malaise; the present apologetic posture without a clear cut programme for our airports, will be heard but not taken seriously again.

In the interim FAAN should release funds to clear the outstanding debts owed by the airport managers, improve synergies between its directors and review the archaic civil service procedure with attendant documentation, when dealing with operational issues.
