Air Nigeria (VK,
Lagos Murtala Muhammad (LOS)) has announced that its management team has taken the final decision to close down remaining operations from September 10. It had its air operator certificate suspended on June 21 due to its financial difficulties but had continue to operate a four times weekly
A330-200 service between
Lagos Murtala Muhammad (LOS) and
London Gatwick (LGW) with an aircraft wet-leased from
EgyptAir (MS,
Cairo International (CAI)). Air Nigeria's management team mentioned "staff disloyalty" and "environmental tension" as the key reasons for not trying to pursue a resumption of its operations under an own AOC.
