Another confirmation came from the airline’s Director of flight Operation, Captain Chimara Imediegwu,who stated that the airline did two flights from Lagos to Abuja yesterday.
Recall that on the 1st of September, First Nation Airline suspended its flight operations after the airline was unable to meet NCAR’s prescription which stipulates that no airline operator shall carry out scheduled commercial operation with only one aircraft.
The airline had earlier announced that it would resume flight operation on the 15th September but was unable to meet the set date.
