Despite opposition from domestic operators, the Federal Government, on Wednesday, declared that the planned take off of Nigeria Air in December will come to pass.
Domestic airline operators in Nigeria, who are kicking against the project on the ground of making Ethiopian Airline major investor in the business, gave their reasons.
Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika in an interview with newsmen on the sideline of the interactive session the Senate Committee on Aviation had with the Minister, heads of agencies in the Aviation sector and Domestic Airline operators, said no going back on the project scheduled to take off in December this year .
He said: “Nigeria Air is a company that is registered and known to the laws of Nigeria which will become by the God’s grace the much awaited airline.
It is going to happen by the grace of God between now and December of this year. It will fly and also compete fairly with all of those existing airlines.
