National Carrier To Commence Operations In September 2013: Aviation Minister by awodman: 7:40am On Jun 26, 2013 |

While I think you are doing a great job ma, I think a national carrier is ill conceived especially if it is intended to be a Government owned company. As at the last check, no business owned by government ever works so there is no reason why a national carrier would be an exception. But lets see how it goes. September 2013 and you haven't started recruiting. Hmmm. 2 Likes |

As at the last check, no business owned by government ever works so there is no reason why a national carrier would be an exception. I guess you didn't read the article very well..I think it is a PPA thing..read the paragraphs below .. “This national carrier that we are talking about is supposed to be private sector driven, government is only providing the legal and other framework, and the enabling environment for the carrier to take off.” “This one will be private sector-driven, will be managed by professionals who managed other carriers elsewhere in the world, and don’t forget that since it is going to be private sector-driven with private sector funds, there is no private sector corporate entity that will put in so much money in setting up a capital intensive business like aero plane business and will now leave it to mediocres to manage." 7 Likes |

Another National Carrier First it was Nigerian Airways, Then Virgin Nigeria, then Air Nigeria, I wonder what this one would be called?! Flygeria... Anyways.. I never understaood why the government didnt find a way of keeping Virgin Nigeria here. They were quite good during the period they operated and had just purchased 1o Brand new Embrier Jets before the quarrel started. Any new company coming had better not be government owned. Infact, make government shift.. 6 Likes |

“This one will be private sector-driven, will be managed I say misplaced priorities by the Federal Government, looking for another way to bleed the excess crude account dry. That was how they prepared a good framework for Nigerian Airways.., I guess they did prepare a good framework for rats to to flyover. Then The Federal Government keep jumping from pillar to post every time on key issues that are of great relevance to the Nigerian public. During these processes, Billions of Dollars are lost, stolen and never recovered by these greedy political sycophants of non-entity, the time is coming when enough will be enough. Conclusively, GEJ always say "We Are Working Round The Clock", I say keep the good work coming, and I hope he doesn't stop working, posterity will definitely be the judge someday, somehow. I give applause and a standing ovation with the middle finger for the Federal Government lead by GEJ. |

Re: National Carrier To Commence Operations In September 2013: Aviation Minister by Nobody: 9:48am On Jun 26, 2013 |
The fact that thus new national carrier will be private sector-driven, is what will make it a success. I guess some of the existing airlines may be the operators of the carrier. |

Ms stella Oduah shouldn't take it personal when people express skepticism abt her project. I think that skeptics on this issue can not be said to have 'misplaced' opinions. Taking antecedents into review, she can only urge the people to be optimistic and give detailed plans on the national carrier and stop being petty. It'll be nice to have a national carrier again but hope investors' money and passengers' lives won't go down... |

Coco diva: I pray it works out fine. It'l be a good addition to the dwindling number of airlines we have now.Unfortunately prayer has nothing to do with it.Richard Branson is an atheist an his airline is doing fine!! National carrier to start in September. Good? Time will tell but can we have more transparency on who this "private sector investor" is and how they were chosen. Why the secrecy? By now ;JUNE,3 months away ,this information should be in the public domain. This is certainly a good area for investing the so called Sovereign Wealth Fund but we talk too much in Nigeria with little action An airline that will start operations in September hopefully has bought planes,employed pilots and cabin crew,GOT A NAME and started taking bookings? Are we really that gullible? 1 Like |

My questions is are they using one of the present airlines now? And will they run it independently? |
Re: National Carrier To Commence Operations In September 2013: Aviation Minister by Dejiro(m): 10:49am On Jun 26, 2013 |
The Federal Government runs its budget at over 70% recurrent expenditure; does it have the capacity to run an airline? Can anybody mention one business that is being run by FGN that is recording success? Please ma, let's not waste this oil money, let's concentrate on reforms that will create an enabling environment for business to thrive. |
Re: National Carrier To Commence Operations In September 2013: Aviation Minister by Sconty09(m): 10:50am On Jun 26, 2013 |
Why is all wrong with my country. What we need now is efficient airports not new national airline. Step out of this country and see airports, facilities and operations even in places like Dubai , Abu Dhabi, South Africa not to talk of western countries. We have Jallopies like airports with poor service and operation. You can buy cup of coffee till you board in UAE ,shopping till you board but not in Nigeria. Lifts and automatic stairs machine all over ,multiple check ins and outs. Why re we thinking from bottom instead of using our brains ? |

As at the last check, no business owned by government ever works so there is no reason why a national carrier would be an exception.Cant you at least give this people some chance? Even the article shows its going to be a public/private venture WITH THE PRIVATE AS THE CORE INVESTOR, for any government venture to operate successfuly in this clime,it must be privatized. Give them a chance & while at that please try & buy into the public shares when the offer comes(provided the name jimoh ibrahim doesnt flash on the board sha) |

As at the last check, no business owned by government ever works so there is no reason why a national carrier would be an exception. You need to read before you type. She clearly stated that the national carrier will be a private company and the govt will only provide the legal frame work. IMO a national carrier is sorely needed. The foreign airlines are having a field day ripping us off and charging exorbitant fares. Having make make a stop over to get to a country is West Africa is also annoying. arik is also expensive cos they are the main players in the indigent aviation sector. Kudos and I look forward to seeing a new national carrier. I wonder what it would be called.? 1 Like |

I guess this minister of aviation is suffering from diarrhea of the mouth. She just open her mouth wide and start spitting rubbish. This minister doesn't even knw the nitty-gritty of establishing an airline. If the project is going to be private-driven, which company has signify interest? What modality has been put in place? Which building is going to house the national carrier? If a carrier is suppose to start operation by september, and dey haven't file an application to the ministry of aviation for the Air Transport License(ATP), file another application to NCAA for Air Operator Certificate(AOC). The requirements for any airline to get this AOC is that u must have ur buildings with adequate and well trained staff, the aircraft must have been inspected from the country of origin with NCAA officials and it must have done 48 hours flight test. The staff to be employed, the pilot, aircraft maintenance engineers, cabin crews, flight dispatchers, ticketing officers, baggage handlers, and some other strategic positions must have been on ground, yet this minister is just talking in abstract. If an airline is to start by september, training should have started for the prospective staff, the logo and the colour of the uniform would have been sorted out. Let it be clear that nothing can happen in this year, let alone next year. It takes over 4 months to get an AOC not to talk of doing flying operations 2 Likes |
