New national carrier, Nigeria One, to become Nigerian Eagle?
Nigeria One (Lagos) has been renamed to Nigerian Eagle sources intimate with the Nigerian aviation industry have told ch-aviation. Though still subject to official confirmation, Nigerian Eagle is set to come about from the amalgamation of Aero Contractors (AJ, Lagos) and defunct national carrier, Air Nigeria (VK, Lagos) by virtue of them both being controlled by the Nigerian government's Assets Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON). Nigerian Eagle Airlines (VK, Lagos) was the name chosen for Air Nigeria's predecessor following the withdrawal of Richard Branson and the Virgin Atlantic (VS, London Heathrow) brand from Virgin Nigeria (VK, Lagos) in 2010. One of Aero's six B737-500s, 5N-BLC (msn 26692), recently underwent a repaint into Nigerian Eagle's new colours in Ostrava, in the Czech Republic this past week.
