The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) will begin the implementation of its tariff adjustment from February 2, 2026.
On June 23, 2025, the agency announced a tariff review, citing losses caused by outdated charges.
According to FAAN, the tariff increase, which was initially scheduled for 2025, was deliberately deferred to allow the authority address systemic inefficiencies.
The decision to begin implementation follows the stabilisation of the agency’s operational processes and the closure of major revenue leakages.
The tariff increase will apply to cargo operations, including port charges, air cargo (at the level of import and export), transshipments, and cargo vehicles surcharge.
This means the port charge will increase from the current N7 to N20 per kg, the air cargo fee will move from N5 to N15 per kg, and the transhipment, courier and perishable goods fee will adjust upwardly from N20 to N40.
This will be the first cargo tariff increase in 20 years.
