Achum also said limited access to finance was putting a strain on the sector’s growth, as the aviation business requires a lot of capital. “We’ve had issues with double-digit interest rates. Aviation is capital intensive, it’s long-term-centric investments and traditionally, the investments have not matched the business models because a lot of the investments have been short-term double-digit interest rates, and they’re not really able to match the revenue space of the airlines. That’s why you have a very short lifespan of airlines in Nigeria,” Achum explained.
