Nigeria’s aviation sector has suffered a loss of $700m during the coronavirus pandemic, the Africa Regional Director of the International Air Transport Association, Funke Adeyemi, said on Tuesday.

Adeyemi, who said this during a webinar, titled, ‘A national conversation: Mapping Nigeria’s response to COVID-19’ on Tuesday, added that 90,000 jobs were at risk in the industry.

Adeyemi, however, thanked the governments of the world for the introduction of the lockdown as the aviation sector could have accelerated the spread of the pandemic.She said, “Even though passenger travel was down and none existent, aviation was still supporting the fight against COVID-19 by ferrying medicines and essential provisions around the continent.

She said, “The industry has been working proactively to see how we can mitigate the risk of spread where aviation is a vector for spreading and, at the same time, conveying passengers and the government. COVID-19 is with us for some time. There is no solution for it. Adeyemi said collaboration between health authorities and the aviation sector would be crucial to the resumption of flight activities.
