Nnaji also frowned at the insistence of some airlines to sell tickets in dollars while asking them to rescind their decision.
He also appealed to the airlines to bring down their fares on Nigerian routes noting that investigations had shown that Nigerian travellers pay higher fares on international routes more than any country in Africa.
Nnaji also acknowledged the efforts of the Ministries of Aviation and Finance as well as the Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN) for their roles in making the release of the funds possible.
The House Committee Chairman on Aviation similarly expressed thanks to the Speaker and the leadership of the House of Representatives for always responding swiftly to the matters affecting the industry.
He equally urged the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the member airlines to show understanding by rescinding some of the actions they have taken against the country.
In a statement, he said, “As representatives of the Nigerian people, the House leadership and members of my Committee will continue to dialogue with the executives to ensure robust air transport economy in our country “.
Nnaji further stressed that while the relevant organs of government were making efforts to liquidate the remaining balance, sufficient arrangements should be put in place to avoid a repeat of such circumstances in future.
