In June, the carrier announced that they had sent their fleet
of three Airbus A320s to Istanbul, Turkey for mandatory service checks, and were therefore temporarily suspending operations between Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt until 2 July, which never came to be.
"FirstNation Airways lost its fleet of three A320s to the lessor, Aviation Capital Group. The aircraft (5N-FNA, -FNB and -FNC) were reregistered to the American register as N409AG, N466AG and N997AG earlier this month. "
It goes on to say that in early October, FirstNation Airways appeared to have resumed flights between Lagos and
Abuja with one A320.
At present time however, no flights can be booked through their
website.
