Air Mid's had a Bni office since '06
Perhaps reflecting the Edo heritage of its backers, Air Midwest have since 2006 maintained a comfortable suite at Benin Airport. It's currently headed by a veteran of Associated and Slok. Insiders insist the company actually negotiated a B735 and possibly a Fokker F-50 in '07, but have all along been victims of the excess baggage of said politico in the board. The choice of Ikedi Ohakim gives the show much credibility, as the Imo CEO is noted for a dynamism matched only by the likes of Duke and Saraki {Saraki says he's bringing a Helo school to Kwara, backed by Gulf interests}
