The acting Managing Director of Nigeria Air, Dayo Olumide has disclosed that the airplane that landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on May 26, 2023, was a chartered one from Ethiopia.

Olumide while speaking before the Senate Committee on Aviation on Tuesday, disclosed that the plane was chartered from Ethiopian Airlines to launch Nigeria’s official airline.

He added that his mandate was to secure an operating licence for the airline that is still in its early stages, noting that Nigerians have been seeing only the pictures of Nigeria Air since 2018 as the country does not have three aircraft required to secure the operational license, then they chattered the Ethiopian Airplane to show Nigerians and investors what the aircraft will look like.
