The national carrier fleet, Nigeria Air, will commence operations with 20 new petrol aircraft in December.<\/p>\n

Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika, said 20 new petrol aircraft have been ordered, out of which only nine have been delivered in preparation for the start of the airline in December.<\/p>\n

Sirika disclosed this at a meeting with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Friday, assuring that Nigerian Air will start as earlier approved.<\/p>\n

At the meeting held at the National Assembly Complex, Gbajabiamila expressed concern over the project saying that some issues needed clarification.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue of the national carrier is very important. It is something we are all paying attention to. We just want to make sure we get it right. There have been some misgivings. Some issues have been raised. But there are issues that need clarification,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sirika however said that President Muhammadu Buhari, at the just concluded ministers\u2019 retreat gave a marching order to ensure that the goal was achieved.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I came in as a minister, we didn\u2019t arrogate to ourselves knowledge and wisdom. We believe in the stakeholders on whose behalf we are servicing. Having been made minister, I came out with a road map which in my little wisdom will help transform civil aviation in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ran it through the system within the ministry and we commissioned some consultants to conduct a market survey and see where we are as an industry at that time. We set out to concession our airports not to privatise but to concession the airports.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also set out to put a proper airline the size, capacity, dynamics and the population and the markets and the complexity of the nation, Nigeria and also set out a leasing company and develop the cargo terminals and so on.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I came to the House of Representatives, I found out that the act that was signed by Jaja Nwachukwu in 1963 was the act that we were using charging pounds and shillings in 2003. We hurriedly, as we were departing in 2007, got the civil aviation passed in 2006 with some imperfections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were some important ones. roadmaps and to God be the glory that today we have done what we thought is good as an act. So, all these roadmap items are private-sector-led and driven. It\u2019s intended to do the framework and the foundation and steer it in such a way that it will be beneficial to the people and make it a private sector initiative to which the government has some interests, understanding the civil aviation in value addition, improving the GDP and jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe national carrier is in the works and we have advanced significantly just yesterday, Mr President in concluding the retreat has directed that this airline must work between now and December. And it will work by God\u2019s grace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have ordered 20 brand new training aircraft that use petrol. So far nine have been delivered. All these in the national carrier efforts,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Explaining the reasons why the Federal Government should have a national carrier<\/a>, Sirika stressed that they are giving every Nigerian the opportunity especially those in the aviation sector to participate in the airline so that the project can be workable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have so far from all the submissions identified the partners, and the investors and we are currently negotiating and processing the AOC. We are twerking the business case in such a way it will give us an advantage and set in in the most efficient manner. So, I want to commit here by the grace of God, between now and the end of the year, the airline will work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sirika also said that the cargo terminal of Abuja international airport will be ready in five days.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, the Chairman of the House Committee on Aviation, Nnodim Nnaji, expressed concern over allowing another country\u2019s airline to own a major stake in the country\u2019s national carrier, saying it may be counterproductive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
