Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, stated that the Nigeria–East-Southern Africa Air Cargo route will enhance air connectivity and unlock Africa's trade potential. This initiative aims to improve trade across the continent by facilitating better logistics and transportation options.

Aviation stakeholders in Nigeria have expressed worries regarding the growing number of state-owned airlines, cautioning that many of these ventures could face economic unsustainability due to escalating operational costs and inadequate aviation infrastructure. The concerns highlight the challenges facing the aviation sector in the country.

United Nigeria Airlines has announced that it has named two newly acquired Boeing 737-800 Next Generation aircraft after the famous literary figure Chinua Achebe and the Obi of Onitsha, Nnaemeka Achebe. This decision is said to reflect the airline's commitment to promoting Nigeria's cultural heritage and national identity, according to the airline's representative Okonkwo.

According to Onyema, Nigerian airlines are increasingly reliant on bank loans due to rising fuel costs. This statement follows the recent announcement by Dangote Petroleum Refinery, which reduced the price of aviation fuel (Jet A1) to N1,450 per litre. The situation underscores the ongoing challenges faced by domestic airlines in Nigeria amid fluctuating fuel prices.

The Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc (nahco aviance) has extended its contracts with Qatar Airways, Saudia Airlines, and ASKY, reinforcing its position in the ground handling sector. Additionally, the company has signed a contract with FlyGabon and initiated exports of solar products to the United States.

According to Moneyweb, the Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) has initiated an upgrade project at Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport in Gqeberha. This project aims to enhance terminal facilities and is part of a larger strategy for modernising the airport to alleviate congestion.
