nickxtra: It is a nice development, but the name should be changed to Aero Nigeria, at least to reflect the Nigerianness in it.

I like your suggestion. It's definitely a better name than the "Nigeria One" that is being bandied about.

Let me write in Arabic.

ogb5:

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.

This a good development.



You mean aero has a good safety record? That's because they haven't crashed. Take off is scary landing is fasting and prayers. I've had 2 near crash incidents on aero so tell me more about their safety.
They should have considered med-view actually

Let me write in Arabic

@ Taharqa: I also think it would be a merger of Air Nigeria and Aero.
The new national carrier will purchase new Boeing jets for long haul routes, while Embraer jets would be used for it's short-haul flights.
What isn't clear is whether the present lucrative routes Arik enjoys would be stripped off them. Or would the FG allow Arik to continue to ply the routes?

Anyway, it's good that 2 strong, domestic airlines would emerge in the end. Hopefully, both Arik and "Aero Nigeria" would eventually account for at least, 40% of the international passenger traffic to and fro Nigeria.

So the Ibrus are back in business. Fresh air indeed.

Aeros planes are old, but they do not compromise the biannual sim certification of their pilots and their aircraft undergo regular checks. DO not forget that Aero is one of the official carrier of the United Nations, providing charter services for the global body. The international brand will not permit Aero Nigeria to soil that reputation.

Aero has the best and longest safety track record in Nigeria.

If you consider that Aero has been in operation since the mid 50's you will appreciate this record.

Aero was also saliently endorsed and recommended by Western Embassies to their citizens as the safest airline to fly.

I remember when Aero used to provide free Daily Trust Newspapers on board but were compelled to cancel after several complaints from embassy staff who decried their anti-western views and promotion of fanatic islamic views.

The airline was very good.

this can bring nothing but good no??

Nice move

Stella Oduah again? Arik did complain last year that they got into trouble with her when they rebuffed her request to be granted a 10% stake in the airline gratis. Her personal interest would explain why we are treading this tarnished path of National Airline again. AMCON of course is ever ready to help the cause of fraudulent acquisition.

I wish they would upgrade and boost our confidence by acquiring new aircraft.

after those experiences I was so scared and hardly ever fly them except on rare occasions.

I take your recommendation of the airline on board.

thanks bro

It will reduce the price of airfares..so travelling by air will no longer be an elitist affair

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.

this is good ...well i dont see anything disgusting here oooo, all i knw is that aero has good records

taharqa: What exactly is disgusting you??

I assume it is disgusting because Aero originates from the south south(Ibru Family)! quite disgusting indeed!! Dont worry very soon ...........

Magic Bishop:

Aero is not owned by Cecilia Ibru but by the Ibru family who never made a dime from government.

Cecilia Ibru messed up in managing Oceanic and Sanusi used the heavy hammer on Aero because they were extended loans by her.

This led to Aero nearly going under due to liquidity problems

can you tell me one family that didnt make money from this nigerian govt......our system is corrupt enuff ok....so they all made money either by kick backs or straight out corruption

from an economic point of view this happens all over the world.....they nationalize the debts and privatize the profits.....when the going is good we dont share from it but when it gets bad we share from it........this is another way the use tax payers money to bail out the rich....the Ibrus have just being bailed out again.....40% equity wow .....until people understand that no policy is designed anywhere in the world to favor the people will dey know how to hold their common wealth.....this may be good to open more air routes but on the long run we pay for it.....what happened to air nigeria.....Jimoh Ibrahim took loans from the Funds the govt provided and puff there goes Air nigeria.....i just wonder when alot of us will be smart enuff to see that all these are porzi schemes to loot our common wealth

Yes the Ibrus.

Ibru family is the only true entrepreneurship dynasty we have in Nigeria.

The Patriarch Micheal Ibru, started in fisheries and shipping and later branched out into real estate, agriculture, brewing and distilleries . The family owns Guardian, Sheraton Lagos and a host of other ventures including Aero.

Which former governor and for which state?

Mr. Fake Urhobo Man abi when Ibru turn Ambrose Ali?

And let me ask you if they are the entrepreneurs as you call them....why will they need us to bail dem out ... ..why will they need tax's payers money for them to stay afloat... ..if you go broke in your bank do you get a bail out.. ...is it because you are not an entrepreneur enough.. ..do you understand corruption at all.. ..Look what is good for the geese is also good for the gender...if we all go broke and can we call the banks or govt to bail us out thats not corruption, but if a family goes broke and they pull their strings and get a bail out then thats corruption.. ...well i guess you wont understand me...cos not all have a good financial IQ

Why not just start up a new airline totally.

Cecilia Ibru was just destroyed for Oceanic bank. Ibrus come from Old money Nigeria.
