Owned by Chief Makanjuola, whose primary business is shipping. Plenty of money, but he'll need it if he's serious about breaking into the business and making any real money. The MD has some experience of running airplane business, but not with helicopters, which is also rather odd. The Ops Manager has no experience of Africa, which is another very odd thing for a new African start up.

Take heed of Tom Bola's comments if you're a foreigner and thinking of committing yourself to them. Also depends where you live because if you join as an expat you'll be paid in US$. Check where your contract of employment is legal too. If it's Nigeria, forget it!

They seem to be long on publicity, but short on action so far.
