Even Mr Wiseman admitted that British Airways was privatized in 1987, now tell me what it means to privatize.
You think you know more than Chidoka now area this and tell me who owns British Airways http://m.bbc.com/news/business-29844956

APContherun:

Guy I don't know what your problem with my thread is. While we appreciate the fact that we need a national carrier, we must also understand and appreciation where Nigeria has been on this airline issue. The minister did humbly admit that bureaucracy kills govt enterprise in Nigeria so a resort to private sector ran carrier is being sought. They are working on something but are being careful so it doesn't fail like previous ones did.

berem:
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!

Change2015:


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.

I have said what my problem is the thread is the product of a shallow mind

NATIONAL carrier does not mean OWNED by government

There are legal implications and meanings as well as privileges

NATIONAL would mean an airline incorporated in Nigeria and paying tax in Nigeria.
This would mean that it has the privilege to execute DIRECT flights to ANY destination. NO OTHER AIRLINE will have that privilege e,g BA is a NATIONAL carrier but not a government airline. BA can operate Direct flight between London and any other destination

ARIK in theory is a NATIONAL Carrier though I do not know if it still operates and how well it is run or how big.


The other problem I have with your thread is the almost tribal outlook trying to paint a paranoid picture of enemies of Nigeria trying to run her down.What is the basis of that.You hae not justified it with any evidence. If someone ask a question give an answer end of!It is a legitimate question. The answer appears legitimate . Where does all the "running Nigeria down" putting her in her place come into it. That is just the product of a mind troubled by "complexes"

British Airways(BA) is the flag carrierairline of the United Kingdomand its largest airline based on fleet size, international flights and international destinations. When measured by passengers carried it is second-largest in Britain, behind easyJet. The airline is based in Watersidenear its main hubat London Heathrow Airport. A British Airways Board was established by the United Kingdom government in 1972 to manage the two nationalised airline corporations, British Overseas Airways Corporationand British European Airways, and two smaller, regional airlines, Cambrian Airways, from Cardiff, and Northeast Airlines, from Newcastle upon Tyne. On 31 March 1974, all four companies were merged to form British Airways. After almost 13 years as a state company, British Airways was privatised in February 1987 as part of a wider privatisation plan by the Conservative government. The carrier soon expanded with the acquisition of British Caledonianin 1987, followed by Dan-Airin 1992 and British Midland Internationalin 2012.

filiks:


If your assertion is correct, do you really think it's good investment to still have a 'national airline'?

berem:
of course yes! It is a very good investment. We used to have National Airlines both public and privately owned. The corruption in the aviation sector didn't allow it progress.
The national carrier is our pride,we need it back!

filiks:


I think we should rather be clamouring for the aviation system to be better. No matter how many National Airlines that is set up, if corruption still exists in that sector, the system will still collapse.

berem:
how do you clamour for the aviation sector to be better without a privatized national carrier? Corruption can seize to exist if the minister is serious or else its just a waste of time

WHAT IS THE DISADVANTAGE OF NOT HAVING A NATIONAL CARRIER

Your citizens have to travel by indirect flights to favoured destinations and government loses tax revenue

This has nothing to do with whether the Government owns it or not. States like Akwa Ibom probably could have set up a National carrier single handedly

you will quote without even reading, who is the olodo now? Osita should be careful with you people.

WENGERNOMICS:



The minister answered that the bureaucracy associated with running govt business has led the govt to consider a private sector run national airline. That my dear is what the British Airways is!!! After almost 13 years as a state company, British Airways was privatised in February 1987 as part of a wider privatisation plan by the Conservative government.

Chigold101:
Kallmemrb did u read what u posted? When a company is privatised does it still belong to the government that privatised it? You have already supported Chidoka‘s claim by saying that it was privatised in 1987... So please withdraw the name calling. Okay




THUMBS UP OSITA NWACHIDOKA for giving it BBC them the way it is hot... A song says “drop it like its hot...“ the interviewer droped it cos it is very hot

eightsin:
Who is really the olodo! Over confidence worry u my guy.

you people are dullard rather than trying to find out abt the transition of the airways ang the government in the survival u are here writing rubbish.. . reason why i called chidoka olodo was the fact that he only mention that the likes of US and UK dont have private airline but never talk abt the govt role....i watched the interview...did u? "In 1981 the airline was instructed to prepare for privatisation by the Conservative Thatchergovernment. Sir John King, later Lord King, was appointed chairman, charged with bringing the airline back into profitability. While many other large airlines struggled, King was credited with transforming British Airways into one of the most profitable air carriers in the world. [ 8 ]The flag carrier was privatised and was floated on the London Stock Exchange in February 1987. [ 9 ]British Airways effected the takeover of Britain's "second" airline, British Caledonian, in July of that same year"

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.

It seems to me that you are the one with a shallow mind..You and your like minds who sees everything bad with anything that has to do with Jonathan and ever ready to view it from a political angle.Always ready to attack and undermine Jonathan's administration therefore letting your brain drift from what the original topic of discuss was.

How often must we be puked upon by BBC and CNN before you realize that they are ever ready to give Nigeria or Africa a bad image with every opportunity they get.

You wouldn't know an indirect verbal assault even if it ran over you in a desert with Grade A INSULT written all over it.

I suggest you put down your phones or laptops sometimes and switch on your TVs and watch BBC or CNN.

Watch them when they interview African leaders or administrators,then you would realize that they always try to embarrass them during interviews with the most annoying and stupid questions that you can ever imagine.

It's only the likes of you that sees no fault in that.The rest of the population have an ounce of intelligence to know that instead the Minister embarrassed her by providing an intelligent answer to her otherwise stupid question.I'm sure she does not even have half the education the honorable minister has.Like a National Carrier justifies absoluteness in performance for the aviation sector.

You do have some good points as to how a National Carrier contributes to economy growth,but that's to do with quality of the point of your argument and rather than your own ineptitude to realize that this was not a political argument but rather the OP was just trying to point out misgivings in her statements.

This was a factual and thought-invoking thread created by the OP. But you and your likes chose to kill the knowledge that thought would have ignited with your snake-pit of bitterness for Jonathan and political feudings.

Such sentiments are not welcome here. Please leave!
