Aviation Unions Oppose FG’s Plan to Abolish Ticket Sales Charges

Aviation workers’ unions have expressed opposition to the federal government’s proposal to eliminate the five percent Ticket Sales Charge (TSC) and Cargo Sales Charge (CSC). The unions emphasized that any review of these aviation charges must adhere to transparent statutory procedures.

The unions, during a news conference in Lagos, highlighted concerns over the potential impact of abolishing the charges. They called for strict enforcement to ensure airlines remit collected levies to the appropriate authorities.

The unions also urged the federal government to impose sanctions on airlines that failed to remit the statutory levy, stressing the importance of accountability in the aviation sector.
