Any hopes of the Airline returning to the Nigerian airspace has now being extinguished.
Although, Nigerian Billionaire Jimoh Ibrahim who is chairman of the company has insisted the certificate will be restored twelve months after the voluntary grounding of all other operations, including regional and international.
The expiration of the AOC makes it extremely difficult for the airline to return or operations until it goes through another round of fresh re-certifications by the regulatory agency NCAA.
Air Nigeria had announced the suspension of all its operations, local, regional and international over 3 months ago.
The suspension, according to the airline "is largely due to staff disloyalty and environmental tension, which are not conducive for business in the aviation sector".
Jimoh Ibrahim said it was difficult to continue further investment in the airline, with the high level of staff disloyalty and weak business environment.
"But we are strongly committed to ensuring that Air Nigeria survives" he added.
According to him, " Corporations are like individuals who naturally will get sick and the usual thing to do is to admit them in the hospital, either for corporate surgery or for treatment, as the case may be. during such a period, it is not likely that they will work in full capacity, depending on the nature of the illness".
