FG May Convert Arik, Aero Contractors To National Carriers

The Asset Management and Corporation of Nigeria has said Arik and Aero Contractors airlines may be merged and converted to a national carrier.

The AMCON Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Gbenga Alade, stated this on Monday at an interactive session with media executives in Lagos.

According to Alade, both Arik and Aero Contractor are owing so much money that they may not be able to pay.

He stated that the corporation presented the idea of converting Arik and Aero Contractor to the former aviation minister but it was rejected.
