<\/div>\n

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, and Customs Licensed Cargo Agents, have agreed to increase the cargo tariff by 114.29 percent to N15 per kilogram from N7 at Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos.<\/p>\n

This was disclosed in a statement by FAAN\u2019s director of public affairs, Henry Agbebire, on Monday.<\/p>\n

FAAN said the cargo charge was agreed upon after a stakeholders meeting on Monday.<\/p>\n

According to FAAN, the proposed upward reviewed cargo price of N15 per kilogram is lower compared to the N20 earlier proposal.<\/p>\n

This means Nigerians and travelers would be required to pay an extra N8 tariff per kilogram of cargo in MMA.<\/p>\n
