Med-View set to recommence operations November

Nigeria’s Med-View Airline, which temporarily suspended flight operations some months ago is set to recommence services in the next few weeks.

Confirming this yesterday, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the airline, Mr Michael Ajigbotoso told journalists in Lagos that the management was preparing to return to service operations in November.

According to Ajigbotoso, Med-view which remained the only carrier on the Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE) had to temporarily suspend operations due to what he called lack of equipment even as he assured that the management had perfected plans to return to some of its old routes in the country.

While declaring that the airline was in compliance with the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs) 9.1.1.12 (A), Ajigbotoso added that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) was aware of its current status.

The COO who emphasised that some of its aircraft, which went for maintenance checks would return to service very soon, emphasised that the airline would return to service stronger despite the recent challenges in operations, just as he maintained that the safety and comfort of its passengers were still paramount to its operations.

He commended the staff of the organisation for their commitment and sustained belief in the airline despite the recent operational challenges and the clients who stood by the airline during the dark era.

“We appreciate the staff for their commitment in spite of the little operational challenges, which we believe are the hallmark of any business. Businesses have their high and low moments and I can tell you we are surmounting the challenges. We are coming back soon bigger and better.

“Also, to our numerous customers, we want to tell you that the best is yet to come. We have done it before, making the nation proud at the domestic, regional and international fronts. We have been consistent with our hajj operations in the past 14 years. We remain the only carrier to have done that successfully.

“We want to assure you that as soon as our aircraft return from the scheduled maintenance, we will begin to provide the excellent and safe flight services, which we are known for and maintained since the commencement of our operations.”
