Headwinds From Trapped Funds, Litigation May Hinder Nigeria Air's Takeoff leadershipNGA: Nigeria nationalairline economy travel tourism
According to the stakeholders, things to be put in place include the repatriation of trapped funds belonging to the international airlines operating in the country and Bilateral Air Service Agreement , among others.
However, stakeholders in the aviation sector have said the national carrier project may not begin operation before May until the federal government put the right things in place. He said,"I have my serious doubts that Nigeria Air will fly and that has been my position since the minister's move in 2018. If ever it does, not many intercontinental routes will be available if we are still keeping the foreign airlines monies.
Also speaking, the director of Research and Corporate Travel, Zenith Travel Consult, Olumide Ohunayo, said unless the minister of aviation forced his way, the project won't fly before May 29. Ohunayo, a member of the Aviation Round Table Initiative , said the minister was supposed to hand over the supposed project to the next administration instead of forcing it down the throat of Nigerians even at a time the country is in a transition period.
