The Air Nigeria project has been placed on indefinite hold by the federal government until further notice.
The minister of aviation and aerospace, Festus Keyamo stated that the airline was never a Nigerian airline, despite what the general public believed, and that they merely attempted to introduce the concept of a foreign airline posing as a Nigerian airline.
At the Ministerial briefing to commemorate President Bola Tinubu’s inaugural year in office, he made this statement.
He said, “It remains suspended and it was never Air Nigeria. It was only.
“If it is so, why not allow our local people to fly our flag? Why bring foreign airlines to fly our flag?
“So nobody should deceive you that it was Air Nigeria.”
