The airline is Nigeria’s longest-serving airline and owned by the Ibru family.

It commenced business in 1959, initially providing services to the oil and gas sector, before venturing into fix wing operations in the year 2000.

In September 2017, the airline received certification from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to handle C-checks on Boeing B737-300, B737-400 and B737-500 at its terminal.

Sanusi can be credited with reviving the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) wing of the airline which he said would “be a great relief for Nigerian airlines, as local maintenance of aircraft up to C-check level will bring huge savings in foreign exchange in aircraft overseas maintenance”.
