Nigeria Air Has No Operating Licence — Airline Operators

Aviation 17/08/2023

Airline Operators of Nigeria have disclosed that Nigeria Air, the country’s proposed national carrier, may not commence operations any time soon because it does not have an Airline Operator’s Certificate.

This was made known Professor Obiora Okonkwo, the spokesman of Airline Operators of Nigeria, who revealed this while speaking in an interview with Punch.

According to him, if Nigeria Air is to begin operations in October 2023, it would be doing so without a valid Air Operator Certificate.

“The AOC is still on stage one. I don’t want to waste my time on that thing anymore. If they are starting in October, they are going to be operating without AOC.”

Meanwhile, the CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, Mesfin Tasew, in an interview with Bloomberg TV, on Friday, revealed that the new national carrier, Nigerian Air, would begin operations by October.
