Nigeria Air has no operating licence: FG.
Airline Operators of Nigeria have stated that Nigeria Air, the country’s proposed national carrier, may not commence operations soon because it does not have an Airline Operator’s Certificate.
The spokesman of Airline Operators of Nigeria, Prof Obiora Okonkwo, told The Punch in Abuja on Monday that if Nigeria Air began operations in October 2023, it would be doing so without a valid Air Operator Certificate.

Okonkwo said, “The AOC is still on stage one. I don’t want to waste my time on that thing anymore. If they start in October, they will be operating without AOC.”
Meanwhile, in an interview with Bloomberg TV, the CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, Mesfin Tasew, revealed that the new national carrier, Nigerian Air, would begin operations by October.
He added that the firm was eager to see Nigeria Air start flying local and international routes.
Recall that Nigeria Air had been embroiled in much controversy, especially in the twilight of former President Muhammad Buhari’s administration.
According to a letter from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, it could not progress to phase two of the AOC process in June 2023.
