Nigerian aviation stakeholders have advocated for a flag carrier model with shared government and private investor ownership, replacing plans for a state-owned airline. The model aims to ensure economic viability, international presence, and reduced financial risk by minimising political interference.
The proposal follows the government’s intent to revive flag carrier ambitions after the failed Nigeria Air project with Ethiopian Airlines. Stakeholders argue the shared ownership approach offers a more sustainable solution for Nigeria’s aviation sector.
