She further disclosed that Virgin Atlantic, KLM, Egypt Air, Ethiopian Air, Air France, Turkish Airlines, Africa World Airlines and other airlines together owed the country over 18 billion Naira.
Mrs Kuku stated that the balance of December, 2025 was different from that of March, 2026 as some of the operators may have cleared their debts.
