A new cargo airline planned to fly from Port Harcourt by a group of exporters in the Niger Delta is eyeing cutting the high costs of airfreight from the region and also boost local hospitality in the region, as per a report in Travel and Tour World (TTW).
According to the report, the new initiative is a response to the long-standing challenge of inflated shipping charges that have made it difficult for businesses in the region to compete globally.
It noted that with a focus on improving logistics and offering a more efficient export channel, the cargo airline, while facilitating smoother, will also drive growth within Port Harcourt’s hospitality industry.
By reducing transportation costs, the initiative will open doors to greater international connectivity, benefiting both exporters and travellers, the report added.
It also added that the launch of the airline represents a significant step in transforming Port Harcourt into a more accessible hub for global trade, business, and tourism, while paving the way for a more prosperous economic future for the region.
