The country’s proposed national carrier, Nigeria Air will be getting its Air Transport Licence (ATL) today, Monday, June 6th, 2022.
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) is expected to present the license to the interim management of the airline at the headquarters of the aviation regulatory body in Abuja.
The Ministry of Aviation made this known in a tweet post on its Instagram handle @fmaviationng.
“The @NigerianCAA will on Monday, June 6th, 2022 present the Air Transport License (ATL) to the interim management of the #NigeriaAir, Nigeria’s national carrier at the NCAA’s Corporate headquarters, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja,” the tweet reads.
The new national airline is expected to provide scheduled and non-scheduled services. It is one of the licenses received by airlines before they can commence operation just as they await the all-important Air Operator Certificate (AOC) that fully guarantees them the right to begin air services.
