No Local Airline Will Be A National Carrier – Keyamo

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, says no local airline will be designated to be the Nigerian national carrier

He said that nominating one local airline to be the national carrier will be unfair to all other local airlines operating in the country adding that

his ministry is already working on establishing what he referred to as a proper national carrier.

During the last administration, Keyamo’s predecessor, Hadi Sirika, had launched Nigeria Air as a national carrier and the deal was shrouded in controversy.

The dust about the Nigeria Air is yet to settle with Keyamo insisting that the deal was not in the interest of the nation.

The minister said there are other deals on the table and wondered why the one involving the Ethiopian Airline was chosen by the former minister.
