- Keyamo stated that the airline was never truly Nigerian but rather an attempt to use a foreign airline to masquerade as the national carrier
The federal government has indefinitely suspended the Air Nigeria Airline project.
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace, Festus Keyamo, announced this during a ministerial briefing marking the first year of the Tinubu administration.
Keyamo stated that the airline was never truly Nigerian but rather an attempt to use a foreign airline to masquerade as the national carrier.
Last June, the House of Representatives Committee on Aviation called for the suspension of Nigeria Air’s establishment. They also recommended prosecuting those involved in the unveiling of the national carrier by the previous administration, labeling the event as fraudulent.
On May 26, the immediate past Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika, unveiled an aircraft claimed to belong to the national carrier at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
