Nigeria Air in another hitch as court suspends FG, Ethiopian Airlines partnership

Justice Lewis Allagoa of the Federal High Court, Lagos, on Tuesday, restrained the Federal Government from going ahead with its national carrier agreement with Ethiopian Airlines.

The judge, who gave the order while ruling on suit No: FHC/L/CS2159/2022 filed on November 11 by the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), asked all parties in the suit to maintain the status quo until a final judgment is made on the matter.

AON had filed the suit to stop the partnership between the federal government and Ethiopian Airlines on the operation of Nigeria Air.
