Nigeria BBJ

Was contacted a few weeks ago about flying the BBJ for the president of Nigeria. Was all set to go and then a day before was told the company was backing out do to possible ties to Al Queda. The company had mentioned we would be working for Aero Contractors. Can anyone shed some light on this and also does anyone know who is flying his BBJ now? Thanks.

Who had the alleged ties to Al Queda? The company for whom you were to work?

Aero, formerly Aero Contractors are a well regarded commercial outfit and I would be surprised that they supply aircrew to the Presidential Fleet. As far as I know , the Presidential Fleet is crewed entirely from the Airforce, although with the BBJ being very new, they might be using some outside help till they've got enough trained personnel.
Prez OBJ has ties to Al- Qaeda?? - yeah right.
