Private.

APContherun:

Why do we think everything must be 'sourced' before it can be believed. I watched BBC Focus on Africa presented by Ms Diseko by 6pm today and I saw the interview.
About British Airways, it used to be owned by the govt but was bought over by AIG group after privitization which is similar to what the Nigerian govt has and is doing with her public corporations. Someone up there would want us believe that Mr Osita Chidoka is a pure olodo when he doesn't know that once privitized, public corporations shift to the hands and management of the private sector with the vt playing only a regulatory rule.
SMH for some folks.

Private or public we need a national airline. Not because America and Britain doesn't have,then Nigeria will not have.
The number of airplanes used by all the airlines in Nigeria is not up to what British Airways alone has in its fleet.

Osita Chidoka wake up!

APContherun:
The BBC in her usual habit of running down the Nigerian government asked the Minister of Avaition Osita Chidoka why Nigeria doesn't have a national airline. The minister answered that the bureaucracy associated with running govt business has led the govt to consider a private sector run national airline. He then informed Liz Diseko that even the US and the UK do not have national carriers. Ms Diseko had to swallow her pride and ended the interview.

WHEN AND WHERE DID THIS ENCOUNTER HAPPEN

Don't mind them. British Airways transited from state ownership to private ownership but it is still a going concern. Let pdp tell us where the ruins of Nigeria Airways lie, and why Richard Branson (Virgin Nigeria private sector driven national carrier/joint venture) fled the country in disbelief at the levels of corruption in the industry.

The main issue is not whether Government owns the airline but that it is in Nigeria hands and REGISTERED as a Nigerian airline.
Only Nigerian airline has the privilege of operating flights out of Nigeria to to any other destination that is the law the SKY

That is why if you are flying Air France they must stop in Paris or some of their colonies wher they have some exceptional arrangements
So the issue of NATIONAL is not about Government owneship it is more than that

The most competitive airline that can operate internationally in Nigeria will be National.
BA cannot fly Direct to New York or Germany from Nigeria
