The national airline will be one that the government will have no hand in; normally it can have three percent,”




I Prefer 30%

Please tell me when statism has ever worked? I will be waiting.

You praise Buhari and another man is praising Jonathan. What do you find as a problem there. Moreover, you and me should wait until we see one airplane up in the sky because, I personally gone past the era of listening to politicians. If I were them I will only reduce talking and increase action.

#Can'tWaitForNigerianAirways

Please can you tell me exactly why you think we need a national airline? Is it for bragging purposes? Why do we need a national airline when private airlines are still running loses and not making any profit? The airline business is brutal and even the most prudent of airlines are running loses all over the world. What we need is a cleanup of the sector to ensure profitability and SAFETY. This national airline thing is unnecessary.

American airlines has nothing to do with the govt. The fact that it carries "american" in its name does not mean its the flag bearer.
Same way you had US airways.

Re: National Airline To Begin Operations This Year by totorimi: 5:02am On Jan 05, 2017
Govt should have no interest whatsoever in the proposed airline, rather NACA and all the regulating authorities must be strengthened to function effectively, government should create a conducive and enabling environment for airlines to operate successfully.
I bet you govt 3% involvement is all that is needed to frustrate the management of the airline. Just point to one project govt of Nigeria has ever sustained successfully. After the project is completed and inaugurated once time for maintenance comes in govt bureaucracy sets in and then what you get is a systematic degradation until final and total collapse.

This shows these guys have not done a thorough research into the challenges bedeviling this our country. Since you cannot change the people the way out is to change the play pattern. Govt must. begin to hands off business that are for revenue generation purposes. All that is needed is government to open up the sector and allow only those that meet the stringent requirement to operate and they must be checked regularly by govt. Once govt is able to ensure that her officials are alive to their responsibility thats all that is needed.

Are you saying a return ticket to London Heathrow from Lagos is £300 flat rate, with 2 x 34 kg baggage allowance?

Sorry this not my experience, there isn't any limit on price (typically £500) and baggage is 2 x30kg
erico2k2:

I do t think so unless they the new airline fly London lagos 7 days a week at £300 flat and carry 34kgs
Re: National Airline To Begin Operations This Year by chimchim1(m): 6:54am On Jan 05, 2017
Always read b4 u comment. Its going to be private sector driven. Public private partnership (PPP). Government may get only 3%. Did u read all this? No, because of hate?

... because the Nigerian government has a stellar record of providing services tongue

Can't wait to hear tales of ill-maintained aircraft, owing workers 9 months salary, ghost workers, inflated maintenance contracts, 0% on-time departures, pilot strikes, luggage handler strikes, and deadlock about ticket subsidy.

Imagine the government running a mobile company, airline, or bank as well as it has handled the power situation...

And as we all know, the best time to start a capital-intensive airline is when there is little forex, people are flying less, and fuel is costing more. Thumbs up to our leaders. SMH

Scroll up and read the post. What part of 3% govt ownership don't you understand?
Re: National Airline To Begin Operations This Year by dom(m): 8:21am On Jan 05, 2017
A section of the country will still run it down like they ran down the Nigerian Airways. Just a ploy to increase - by fiat - the number of flights going to their arid region. Since the private airlines will hardly fly there cos of non viability.

"We are going to establish this national carrier and it will give good service. This is the solution because Nigeria has the market, we are 180 million, we are sitting in West Africa and in the West African market we are 450 million and Nigeria is the major player."

“If you add the Central Africa, which is the Central belt, we are 600 million people, which is equivalent to the US market and also equal to the European market."


https://thenigerian.ng/national-airline-begin-operations-year/

So you are implying that the purchasing power of the average European/American is equivalent to that of the average central/west African?

Honestly, how do these kind of guys get into leadership positions in Nigeria? Oh I forgot....sorry.

I don't understand the 3% part because historically, no matter the purported ownership stake, govt has always managed to frustrate these types of PPP enterprises. Especially this regime that likes to rule by fiat, insists on policies that make no economic sense, and bullies participants into submission.

You'd think such a minority stake holder would wield little influence, but it has never been the case with Abuja.

Wow
I was still thinking that no airport could displace MMIA in terms of pax traffic. The PH airport that uses canopy as Arrivals hall, lol.

Anyway, I'd hope the new carrier would have flights to at least 3 US cities, China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia etc.

That would only be a promotional ticket. The regular ticket price can't be less than N210k if the airline hopes to stay in business.
