An aircraft with the Nigeria Air colours has been sighted at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport in Ethiopia.
It was gathered that the aircraft is scheduled to land at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja later today.
The Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika, had stated that an aircraft in Nigeria Air colours was on its way to Nigeria in less than 24 hours.
Some experts and stakeholders have, however, questioned the rationale behind the launch barely 72 hours before the end of President Muhammadu Buhari’s led administration and how the aircraft can fly into the country without an Air Operating Certificate, AOC, from the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA.
In a chat with the Principal Partner, Avaero Capital, Sindy Foster, she said, “This is very poor indeed and a complete reflection of the entire shabby plan by the Federal Government.
“Nigeria deserves better. Sadly some Nigerians think this is what they deserve. Does Nigeria Air have AOC?
“If people do not love this country no one would be bothered. The reputation of the country was bad enough, now court orders are just being ignored by government officials with impunity.
“Deals are being done with question marks hanging over them. 11th-hour non-launch of an airline for optics and the fake ticking of boxes of a so far non-existent roadmap. We should be celebrating genuine things.”
