Speaking in a tensed meeting with some management staff of Nigeria’s largest domestic operator in Abuja, Capt. Najomo advised the airline to trim its operations to the size of available aircraft presently in its fleet.
The airline acknowledged that it has some challenges that were not unusual in the industry, but they were working round the clock to fix same.
