When abokis and sectional employment of staff from the north full there,why won't it get ruined. Nigeria never employ the best brain but put there family members there. Go to FAAN. u see many abokis occupying many post.

Not true ! Billy Eko was second to Capt. Ore.

Capt. Ore was Nigeria's finest. He was the captain of Nigeria's boeing 747 to New York. Capt. Billy Eko was merely his co-pilot. In fact, Billy Eko tried to implicate Capt. Ore in his hard drug runs by giving him one of his bags to hold and having Capt. Ore's finger print on the bag. but luckily, Ore was acquitted though he was later dismissed by the Nigerian Airways.

Corruption has killed Nigeria.

RIP Nigeria Airways, don't branch Nigeria when next you are coming to this world.

laudate:
Nigeria Airways had several fine pilots. They included pilots like Capt Bob Hayes, Rufus Orimoloye, Samuel Obioma, Paul Thahal, Bara Allwell-Brown, Akintaju, the late Olubunmi Oke, Nnachi, Osakwe, Dele Ore, Joe Ibrahim, Ado Dahiru, Tunde Amusa, Olu Olumogba, Fola Akinkuotu, Bayo Sanyaolu, Tanko Afegbua, Don Chukwura etc. The airline had female pilots too, I think.

Ethiopian Airlines
Kenyan Airways
Ghana Airways
South Africa Airlines
Still vibrant

After NA’s demise, see what both the flight and her former employees (pensioners) have been reduced to

Great post!... It brings back memories for
me flying onboard my first Nigeria Airways
aircraft in the 1970s through to the 1990s.
From the Fokker-27, DC-10, Airbus A-310...
and more!

Captain John Billy-Eko is late now, but he
was one of the iconic Nigeria Airways pilots
who flew the Boeing 747. He flew the only
operational Nigeria Airways Boeing 747
to Newyork in 1987 and got arrested for
smuggling hard drugs at the JFK Airport.
Captain J. Billy-Eko was originally a
Ghanaian. The media was abuzz in 1987
with stories about him and his picture of his
car that was parked at the MMIA car park was
published on the front page of some major
newspapers.

Captain Billy-Eko was one of the best
Boeing 747 pilots on earth.

Nigeria Airways... Truly Iconic!

Bro you are kinda wrong .....

1. The best and most profitable airline in Africa is Ethiopian and its not on your list.

2. Ghana does not have any national airline again like Nigeria, make una do small research biko. What killed Nigerian airways is what killed Ghana airways and its a shame.

I feel like crying for my country.
Who cursed Nigeria with bad leaders?

You guys may not believe this, but the people that can fix Nigeria are
Bola Tinubu
Fashola
Ambode
Donald Duke

Forget about the rest.

The only reason I'm including Duke is cause of TBR

what made him iconic if I may ask ..... being a drug pusher is an iconic thing to do ?

borie4u:
That was when Nigeria was a country. I once flew to Benin using Nigeria airways in late 80s. Right now the pensioners have not been paid since 2007. Heard their payment was held by minister of finance kemi adeosun. May of the workers have died waiting for their money. Till now they have not been paid nothing. Only God will judge our wicked leaders

The senate should sign and release this money.



Pay them their money.




I am about to lose my loved ones.

The airline took a nosedive for its final extinct in 1984-85 when Buhari became HOS.Its fleet was badly depleted. Meanwhile other neighbouring African country airlines as outlined by the above fella are still vibrant.

You mean their is no Aboki pilot?

Rosskii:
I miss Nigeria Airways. Their signature Jollof Rice and Beef or Chicken serving was unforgettable. It turned many a foreigner into a lover of the national dish.

Nigeria Airways flew everywhere - Accra, Nairobi, Johannesburg, London, Paris, New York, Berlin, Cairo, Jeddah, Amsterdam, Milan, Zurich, Kampala. Everywhere.

Abbeybailey:
That was the time of Pilot Tunde Amusa piloting the flight from Murtala Muhammad Airport to JFK Airport. Good old days indeed. Hopefully, Nigeria will get her groove back.
