The Nigeria aviation Industry has lost over N63 billion to the ravaging effects of COVID-19, a report by the Nigeria Ministry of Aviation has revealed.

Describing the air transport value chain as the hardest hit to the deadly virus, the report said over 90 percent of operations and activities were adversely affected resulting in monthly losses valued at N21 billion.

The report sighted by The Nation indicated that the ravaging effects of the virus in the sector has forced government  to consider working out a recovery plan aimed at providing financial support where necessary to sustain air connectivity for passenger operations and cargo  flights.

Besides, the financial support proposed for the industry, the report indicated that the government is rejigging its plans to fast track the establishment of a private sector driven national carrier, which is expected to  generate significant revenue and contribute to Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

The project is expected to create activity in the wider economy for suppliers, importers, exporters and manufacturers.
