Trend analysis of domestic air travel demand in Nigeria was examined based on yearly passenger demand from 2010 to 2017. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression was used to forecast for twelve years (2018 to 2030) demand for domestic air passenger travel in Nigeria. The demand for domestic air passenger in Nigeria from year 2010 to 2017 was compared with the forecast. There seems to be periods of fluctuations in the demand for domestic air passenger travel in Nigeria from year 2010 to 2017 which are expected to have effect on the forecast of domestic air travel. Calculation and computation reveals that the coefficient of determination R2 is 0.203 which signifies a high error term such that the explanation level is very low; hence the prediction or forecast is unreliable. Despite the decline in the forecast of domestic air passenger demand in the future, and the fact that the forecast is unreliable, hence inconclusive as shown from the coefficient of determination, government agencies should be sensitive to the forecast and try to adopt new policies and strategies that will improve the demand for domestic air passenger travel in Nigeria.

The study examines the relationship between passengers’ satisfaction and service quality in MMIA. The sample size for the study is a total of three hundred and eighty-four (384), meanwhile, 58.3 percent of response rate was valid for data analysis. 49.1 percent valid questionnaire responses were obtained from the international terminal while 50.9 percent valid questionnaire responses were obtained from the domestic terminal. From the survey, the majority of the respondent was male representing 62.5 percent. From correlation analysis, about 71.1 percent of all service dimensions give a positive and very strong correlation, while about 18.4 percent of all service dimensions give a positive and strong correlation, also about 7.9 percent of all service dimensions give a positive and weak correlation, and about 2.6 percent of all service dimensions give a positive and very weak correlation. Efficiency of available public transport options is the only service with a very weak correlation. The study also revealed that there is a relationship between passengers’ satisfaction and service quality at P.value less than 0.05. This signifies that service quality leads to passengers’ satisfaction. It is therefore suggested that airport services should be quality so as to have a corresponding effect on high passengers’ satisfaction.

This study examines some concessioned airports in the developed countries and their operational performance level with a view to identifying the positive impact of concessioning on their growth, development and operational performance. The ultimate goal of the study is to provide basis for adapting the experience from lessons learnt to Nigeria’s airports as a strategy for realization of airport operational efficiency. The study advocated for the concessioning of two principal airports in Nigeria because of their potentials to enhancing the application of the experience learnt from lessons on concessioning in the developed countries. Data obtained from relevant Government Institutions and Agencies in Nigeria were analyzed using descriptive statistics. It was concluded that Lagos and Abuja International Airport are the two major airports in Nigeria that can be privatized or concessioned in order to improving their level of efficiency. Happenings around the world have shown the efficacy of Government disengagement in running business through the policy of concessioning and privatization. Airport concessioning and privatization has been considered as a major tool to enhance airport efficiency as witnessed in the developed countries. Airport concessioning has the capacity to enhance efficiency of airport operation; reduce cost of airport services to stakeholders; decrease cost to the government for the support of airport sector; and attract private sector participation to free public resources for public services.
