“As a nation, if we must drive the economy ,we must initiate a collaboration to move the industry forward. We must drive the aviation sector to propel other sectors of the economy.”
“Airline operators must be given the necessary support such as single digit interest loan to thrive, also part of the challenge facing airlines in the country is operational incompatibility and poor financial management.”
Olorunyomi added that these factors coupled with lack of corporate governance brings about disaster.
To survive and sustain their business, he advised airlines to review their business models,continually develop robust strategies and re-appraise their business.
