The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, has presented an Air Transport License to the interim management of Nigeria Air.

Nigeria Air is the country’s proposed national carrier, led by Captain Dapo Olumide.

According to the agency, An Air Transport License certification is a document that states the kinds of operations a carrier will embark on scheduled, non-scheduled, cargo air services within and outside Nigeria.

It says the licence precedes the Air Operator’s Certificate which empowers the airline to operate scheduled commercial flights.

Its Director-General, Captain Musa Nuhu, will run for a period of five from third June, this year to second June twenty-twenty-seven.

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.

Nigeria Air Limited, the country’s proposed national carrier had in April this year applied to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority for a license to operate scheduled and non-scheduled passenger and cargo service.
