Nigeria Revives Plans for a National Carrier
The establishment of a West African MRO hub accompanies plans to launch a Nigerian flag carrier.

Following Nigeria’s latest failed attempt to launch a national carrier last year, the country’s federal government has resuscitated the plan. It will soon release bids for a flag carrier, “which will be private sector driven,” confirmed Nigerian minister of transport Hadi Sirika at the recent Global Aviation Summit in Mumbai. Officials have appointed a consultant to submit a project report, said Sirika.
