Hopes of Nigerians witnessing the take-off of a new national carrier, Nigeria Air, before the end of this administration, remains a far cry.

This came as a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos asked the Director General of Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, to halt the issuance of an Air Operator’s Certificate, to Nigeria Air.

It would be recalled that some airlines in the country had taken the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, Attorney General of the Federation, Nigeria Air, and Ethiopian Airlines to court to stop the airline from flying.
