This is the moment Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika unveiled the new national airline at the Farnborough International Airshow in London.

“The Nigerian Government will not own more than 5% (maximum) of the new National Carrier. The government will not be involved in running it or deciding who runs it,” he said

He added that government is in talks with aircraft providers, “We’ve been talking to Airbus and Boeing (and they’re present at this event) regarding the aircraft for and we will be making announcements very soon. We are currently negotiating.”

Yeah, thanks for your insight, truth be told, GEJ tried upgrading the Airport at least I know of MMIA, my take is why won't Nigeria have a national carrier It's something subsequent government shouldn't have allowed.. Imagine coutriez like Rwanda, Namibia, Ethiopia having their country owned Airlines but Nigeria has nothing.......it is a gesture in right direction and I personally appreciate PMB for it
. I understand you very well but they should not be in haste. The national carrier of other countries thrived because they allowed private sector to handle various aspects without interference. Like MMA2 for example which is government/private partnership handled by bi Courtney, every thing works fine, toilet is clean, car park is ok, security is tight etc. If they allow Nigeria government to handle it, what happened to Nigeria airways will still happen. A situation where a minister or governor will carry all his family to another country without paying kobo. Out of 150 passengers like 70 will be government officials and their families, airline will not thrive under that condition. My question is why will our government who own only 5% be sorting or negotiating for purchase of aircraft? Why not work with the local airlines we have in Nigeria that are struggling? Why would foreigners own over 80% of the airline? What is our benefit if we are controlling only 5%? These and many other questions are what we should consider. Nigeria has the capacity to run an airline without bringing in foreigners. We have private sectors that can handle various aspects of the airline. Airline is a big business which if properly managed, will pay more than oil companies. If we handover the running of Nigeria national carrier to Bi Courtney owned by Babalakin, he will handle it very well without interference from government. It's a welcome development by PMB but it should have been a gradual process because the foreigners we are bringing in might cheat us too much because we have only 5% in the business and we are the same one buying 4 aircraft by December.
