Aero goes into JV with UMZA Air, acquires aircraft, repositions
Aero Contractors, Nigeria’s oldest aviation company has taken delivery of the first set of two Dash-8 (Q-400) aircraft this afternoon at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja.
The Nigerian registered aircraft owned by UMZA Air will be operated by Aero Contractors under a joint venture agreement between both parties.
The Dash 8 aircraft is one of the most fuel-efficient and modern aircraft in the market and has a capacity of 74 seats.
The second aircraft is due to be delivered in a couple of days.
The Managing Director of Aero Contractors, Capt. Abdullahi Mahmood said: “We are pleased to inform our customers and stakeholders of the delivery of this aircraft under a joint venture agreement with UMZA Air
“We missed our customers over the last few weeks and we are eager to offer our services to our highly esteemed passengers.
“Once we are ready to commence operation we shall officially inform the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
“We shall announce our resumption of services with a new schedule soon once we are ready.”
The carrier on July 19, 2022, announced a temporary suspension of flight operations.
Management of the airline said that the decision was due to the depletion of aircraft to run scheduled commercial services.
The carrier said the impacts of the challenging operating environment on daily operations had made the temporary suspension of scheduled passenger services inevitable.
