Nigeria Air receives ATL from civil aviation authority

Nigeria Air Limited has received an Air Transport License (ATL) granted by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

Issued on June 3, 2022, for a period of five years, the license enables Nigeria Air to operate scheduled and non-scheduled passenger and cargo air services within and outside Nigeria.

The Nigerian Federal Ministry of Aviation took to Twitter to announce the presentation of the Airline Transport Licence (ATL) to the interim board of the airline.

“Nigeria Air is here and is going to provide quality service to Nigerians,” the Ministry stated.

Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Hadi Sirika said that the ATL signaled “the end of the beginning of operations of the Airline”.

Sirika added that the “commencement date of domestic operations will be announced in due course”.

Prior to receiving its ATL, Nigeria Air announced on March 28, 2022 its application to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) for an Air Operators Certificate (AOC) ahead of its estimated launch in mid-2023.
