The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, said on Wednesday the new national carrier, Nigeria Air, would begin operation before May 29.
Sirika ,who disclosed this to State House reporters shortly at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, said arrangements had been put in place for the smooth take-off of the airline.
The federal government had postponed the airline take-off twice over logistic and other challenges.
