It is quite unfortunate how some persons like u behave in public, if you don't have anything reasonable to add, why not allow others who have something to say to say it. We should learn how to stop bad mouthing this country and equally have it at the back of your mind that there is at least something good about this country, is not all about negativity.

Aeros problem started with Arik Air not because Arik was better but because Arik is owned by Odili, OBJ and were able to scam the Aviation Authorities by not paying the appropriate tariffs thereby ensuring an unlevel playing field.

Sanusi, then came with his own wahala out of pure hatred for the Ibru family. Cecilia obviously messed up but what she did was no different from what other bank executives do which is extending loans on discretion. Aero had the market and the assests to repay whatever loan but Sanusi insisted that the pay a lump sum back within a stipulated time frame as against the original agreement. This led to Aero offering Fare discounts as low as 5,000 naira on advanced bookings.

The Airline will surely bounce back.


that's a good one and at least there is light at the end of the tunnel.

will there be cut in the fares as well? considering this development.

taharqa: By way of clarification, I don't think that Aero Contractors 'wud be the National Carrier' per say. I think the Assets of both Aero Contractors and Air Nigeria wud form d basis of a new National Carrier, which is a smart move by d authorities cos AMCON presently control controlling share of these Airlines cos of their indebtedness to banks (shares that wud later on be sold to d public ).. The Emerging Airline should be a new Cop. This is my understanding of d Article
aero contractors is designated as national carrier.Air nigeria was an experiment doomed to fail from the start.the reasoning was based solely on the fact that AMCON has controlling stake in the airline.that means other airlines werent even considered neither was airworthiness of planes or experience of personell considered.personally,i think aero contractors does an average job.they have some of the oldest planes parading our airspace.its unfortunate that government has once again brought its ineptitude into the aviation industrY.the controlling stake of AMCON should not be the major factor in choosing a national carrier and then there's the hullaballo about air nigeria's assets.what assets?they say it as if air nigeria had in its fleet world class boeings.whats wrong in asking all airlines to present proposals?or making it an open bid in which all applying airlines are screened based on parameters which are more important to safety of passengers than the controlling stake of AMCON?

I miss Nigeria Airways of yester-years ! We need a national carrier that would be truly 'national' and a pride of a nation like Nigeria. To understand what a national carrier is we need to borrow a leaf or two from Kenya, Ethiopia or Egypt. Nigeria dey fall person hand!
Re: Aero Contractors To Emerge National Carrier by gboye1999: 3:31pm On Oct 21, 2013
Financially its the most logical decision for the FG. if you own 60% of a business why do you have to give another enterprise (Arik or any other) the advantage over your own investments. Likewise there's no need to build a new airline from scratch.
Its the best decision looking at present circumstance. Of-course there is still the corruption factor: Do we all remember the 5% stake issue. No way it would have been Arik Airline but personally i prefer this decision.

I much prefer Arik giving the government owned business a good run for their money in terms of service delivery, passenger experience, organizational efficiency and the rest.

Felix Ibru political activities began in 1983 when he unsuccessfully contested for a seat in the Senate.

He ran for the Governorship of Delta State in 1991 and emerged as the First Executive Governor of the newly created Delta State.

He ruled from JANUARY 1992 to NOVEMBER 1993 (ie ALMOST 2YEARS)

He won the 2003 Senatorial elections for Delta Central.

The new carrier will be privately funded via the Stock exchange. Which means that Nigerians will be able to buy shares in it. NO govt funds would be allocated to the airline.

It's naive to think that govt funds are not going to be used when AMCON is already the largest shareholder.

I think AMCON would eventually divest it's ownership of the new airline, since the FG doesn't want to own any stake in the airline.

Also, the airline could lease some aircraft if it wants to begin intercontinental flights immediately; or the management could wait for at least 18 months before the new planes arrive.

Its even stated in the article

The source further revealed that AMCON would only
hold on to its 60 per cent shares in Aero Contractor for a
limited period, after which they will be sold to the public
at some future date.

Cant hold brief for this government nor any politician in our climes...
However its normal for government to help break the ground in a difficult niche. In fact our government is intentionally a BAD businessman to serve the purpose of corruption/nepotism and whatever ills may serve the pocket of the thieving ones.
I assure you this can work where the intention from the beginning is sincere.

Why is it disgusting to you.

Aero contractors is one of the oldest local Airlines in Nigeria and obviously with very good safety records.

They were affected by the financial turmoil following the stealing of Oceanic bank from their group and hence amcon had to take part of the airline.

Even with their financial troubles, they were still able to maintain there good safety record.

So once again, why is it disgusting to you.

One of the Best airline in Nigeria and i will never stop flying them.
