Speaking during a brief award ceremony held at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority's headquarters in Lagos this week, Mr. Ayodele, described the AOC certification as a milestone in the life of the new company.
“With the AOC certification by NCAA, Skybird is on the way to revolutionising executive charter operation in the country. As confirmed by the certification, our processes are world-class, just as the personnel is made of the best,” he said.
He said the company was coming into the sector to take executive jet operation in the country to a new height, adding that luxury and safety would be hallmarks of its charter operations.
