This is exactly what smart Igbo businessmen should do. If you feel that your business will do better outside of Nigeria, please set it up there.

He can still deliver cargo directly to Enugu airport without dealing with corrupt and tribalistic Nigerian officials. He learnt from the experiences of Orji Uzo Kalu who's SLok airline was frustrated by obasanjo for mere political and tribal reasons.

The cost of running an airline is already high and profit margin can be slim but when you factor in Nigeria to the equation, it becomes impossible especially if you are an Igbo business man. So setting up the airline in Swaziland and servicing Nigerian market from there is the best solution.

I laugh when our visionless governors globe trott in the name of looking for foreign investors. Nigerians both at home and in diaspora have caah to invest. The role of government is to provide a favourable environment where investment can thrive. This can be done by way of policies, infrastructure and security. Well done Chief Aghalieku.

This looks more like a private/personal aircraft to me.
Otherwise how many aircrafts are in their fleet, their flight schedule and what cities/destinations do they service?
