13 August 2018 :According to media outlets, Ethiopian Airlines is one of the bidder to set up and manage Nigeria’s new national air carrier, Nigeria Air. The airline is arguably one of the most successful national carriers on the continent, ahead of the likes of Kenya Airways and South African Airways and is one of the few national carriers that has not required government funding in recent years. Analysts note that Ethiopian Airways has also been acquiring minority stake in a range of African airlines as it tries to deepen its penetration in the African airspace. Given the success of the Ethiopian model, they would be a credible and reasonable group to help execute Nigeria’s incoming national carrier.
