The Nigerian government has been working closely with the Single Sky Principle (SSP) to ensure that the country’s aviation sector is aligned with the global standards. The SSP is a set of principles that aims to provide a single, unified, and efficient aviation system across the world. The goal is to eliminate the fragmentation and duplication of regulatory requirements, which can lead to inefficiencies and increased costs for airlines and passengers.
The Single Sky Principle is based on the following key principles:
Global Harmonization: The principle aims to harmonize aviation regulations and standards across the world, eliminating the need for multiple and conflicting regulations.
Simplified Procedures: The principle seeks to simplify procedures and reduce the complexity of regulatory requirements, making it easier for airlines and passengers to navigate the system.
Efficient Use of Resources: The principle aims to ensure that resources are used efficiently, reducing waste and minimizing the impact of regulatory requirements on the industry.
