Well it looks like the rumours that have been going around have actaully come out to be true about this new agreement between Airwings and Nigeria.
Can anybody tell me who Airwings are, I would appreciate any info on this company, as there seem to be a lot of mixed feelings on this whole issue about their partnership with Airways.

NIGERIAN pilots have lauded the federal government's joint venture agreement with Airwing Aerospace of the United Kingdom that resulted in the resuscitation of Air Nigeria Plc.
According to the pilots through their letter addressed to the President, the commencement of operations of Air Nigeria Plc, which was registered in 1993, with the proactive support of Airwing Aerospace and Singapore Airlines, undisputedly the world's most successful airline, will mark a new development in the history of Nigeria's aviation industry. They wrote under the umbrella of guild of Air Pilots and Navigators (GAPAN).
They also recalled the woes of the moribund Nigeria Airways, with dilapidated airplanes which are beyond economic repairs and low staff morale among reasons why there was urgent need for the Government to proffer lasting solution to the problem of evolving a new, viable and profitable national carrier which will become Africa's flagship hence the Joint Venture agreement with the Singaporeans "which will open the option on new fleet to satisfy the presently active routes and ensure the re opening and reactivation of previously closed but lucrative routes."
The body have further discovered from independent investigation that Airwing Services Limited U.K which registered Airwing Aerospace as a special purpose vehicle for the joint venture transaction is managed by able hands in the aviation industry. It also added that GTs power, which made the initial proposal on the new Airline to the federal Government, is still on course in its dealings with the federal ministry of Mines and Power on power generation from Ajaokuta.
