Olumide assured that the team would double its efforts in order to fulfill all necessary processes to receive the AOC certificate from NCAA to commence flying.
“We already have aircraft identified because, that is one of the requirements for the NCAA. We are waiting for the terms of agreement with Provider of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
“What we need now is to go through stages to get AOC certificate from NCAA. No magic in the process. It is not something that can be issued because they like your face.
“When you have an AOC and ATL, you can commence commercial scheduled operations. The date to start operation is largely based on the process one is following to get the AOC certificate”, he said.
