Coming on the heels of the recent acquisition and injection of fresh funds into the newly re-branded Air Nigeria Development Limited, the former Virgin Nigeria is set to re-commence flight operations to the ancient city of Benin and Owerri in July.

This is in line with the new vision of the airline to connect every major city on its route network.
Announcing the scheduled recommencement of flight operations to towns, the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kinfe Kahassaye, noted that the objective of the new board of the airline is to fully integrate most major cities in Nigeria into its route network, especially now that the airline has the capacity to boost seamless travel of passengers across major cities in the country.

While noting that Air Nigeria is set to double its fleet size by acquiring five additional aircraft, Mr. Kahssaye said that the entire operation of the airline is currently undergoing a thorough re-engineering and review process, which will ultimately guide the airline in introducing the next generation fleet of aircraft.

The Chairman of Air Nigeria Development Limited, Barrister Jimoh Ibrahim, while unveiling the new brand name of the airline at a recent briefing, had noted that the company would be turned around in the shortest possible time, even as its identity reflects the rich cultural heritage and integrity of Nigeria .
