The Airlines Operators of Nigeria has ordered its members to stop the payment of airport charges to the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria or its concessionaire, Maevis Nigeria Limited, until the agency fully resolves the controversy surrounding the termination of the firm\u2019s contract.<\/p>\n

Maevis, which collects over 70 per cent of FAAN\u2019s N1.5bn monthly revenue, receives aeronautical and non-aeronautical charges from airlines on behalf of the agency.<\/p>\n

FAAN had over a week ago issued a notice of termination of the concession agreement to Maevis, citing alleged breaches of the contract.<\/p>\n

But Maevis, which claimed that it had yet to receive the letter terminating its contract, said that it was not possible for FAAN to terminate the agreement because the matter was in court.<\/p>\n

AON has, however, written to its members to stop the payment of airport charges to FAAN or Maevis until the authority has fully resolved the matter. <\/p>\n

AON specifically directed its members, in a letter addressed to them, to stop the payment of charges such as aircraft parking, landing and passenger service charges.<\/p>\n

The Assistant General Secretary, AON, Alhaji Muhammed Tukur, who confirmed the development to journalists in Lagos on Sunday, said that the operators had requested FAAN to forward the termination letter to the body, with its details.<\/p>\n

He expressed surprise that AON members only read about the termination of the concession agreement on the pages of newspapers.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe Chairman of AON, Dr. Steve Mahonwu, has written to the Managing Director of FAAN, Mr. Richard Aisuebeogun, to advise the operators on what to do as regards whether to continue to pay to Maevis or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Maevis has written to the airlines explaining the issues regarding certain aspects of the agreement between FAAN and the aviation firm.<\/p>\n

In a letter dated March 28, 2011, addressed to AON and signed by the Head, E-payment, Mr. Ernest Edgar, and the Executive Director, Mr. Tokunbo Fagbemi, Maevis stated that the issue had been referred to the court of competent jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

The letter, a copy of which was obtained by our correspondent on Sunday, read in part, \u201cThe court has ordered that the res be preserved (that is, the FAAN-Maevis agreement should continue to be in force without any hindrance from either party) in this matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe court further ordered that the dispute between the parties be referred to (the Court of) Arbitration. As a law abiding corporate citizen of Nigeria, Maevis had since served the notice of arbitration on FAAN.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current situation, notwithstanding, we wish to assure you that we will continue to render efficient services to your airlines and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria in line with our established commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n

But FAAN\u2019s notice of termination, signed by the General Manager, Legal, Mr. Bayo Alabidun, on behalf of the managing director, was entitled, \u201cNotice of termination of Agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n

It stated, \u201cReference to the agreement dated October 31, 2007, between Messrs Maevis Limited and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria for the acquisition, installation, operation and management of world class integrated airport operations management system, be informed that Maevis Limited is in breach of fundamental provisions of the said agreement and has flagrantly refused to cure the said breaches despite several notices: flagrant refusal and\/or neglect to proceed in line with the third schedule to the agreement; deduction of government money at source against government financial regulations; refusal and\/or neglect to carry out monthly reconciliation of accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
