A plane belonging to Nigeria Air, the proposed national carrier, has landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nHadi Sirika, minister of aviation, disclosed this in a tweet on Friday.<\/p>\n

The minister had, on Wednesday, said the federal government would take delivery of the aircraft today, ahead of the commencement of operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here. To Almighty God be all the glory. It has been a very long, tedious, daunting, and difficult path. We thank everyone for their support. This, by the will of God, will be for us and generations to come. Ya Allah make it beneficial for our country and humanity,\u201d Sirika tweeted on Friday.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Friday, the federal government had said it was set to unveil the proposed national airline officially.<\/p>\n

Hadi Sirika not above the law, can\u2019t birth Nigeria Air without due process \u2013 Airline Operators<\/p>\n

The event is billed to hold today, by 4 pm, at the Nigerian Air Operations Centre in the Abuja airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe federal ministry of aviation cordially requests your presence at the official unveiling of Nigeria Air on Friday, 26th May 2023, at 4 pm,\u201d the document reads.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, domestic aviation firms, under the aegis of Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), have condemned Sirika\u2019s move to float the proposed national airline before May 29, 2023.<\/p>\n

The airlines, in a statement on Friday, signed by Obiora Okonkwo, spokesperson of AON, described the move as contemptuous and shadowy, saying a federal high court had halted moves by the minister to float the airline until the determination of the substantive suit brought by the union.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
