The airline released a statement through the NSE to inform its shareholders and other stakeholders that the achievement is the beginning of more good things to come.
The first flight use in the inauguration of the Airline had about 80 percent revenue passengers on-board. The minister of women affairs, Hajia Aisha Jumai Al Hassan, the representative of the minister of Aviation, other governmental/ regulatory representatives and those of the Oba of Lagos were among the passengers on board the first flight.
Notwithstanding the competition from other carrier, the Airline is optimistic about making Dubai operations a preferred choice for passengers.
