Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), an umbrella body of domestic airline operators in the country, have stated that the continuous insistence by the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, to float Nigeria Air is in flagrant disobedience of court orders.
In a statement on Friday, AON spokesperson, Obiora Okonkwo, tackled Sirika’s attempt to ensure Nigeria Air was commissioned before his tenure ends on May 29 despite a court order restraining the national carrier from operating.
This week, Sirika had announced that Nigeria Air will take delivery of aircraft meant for operation ahead of the planned commissioning of the national carrier, as he insists that nothing would stop the launch.
