According to a recent report, Nigeria's Cally Air is set to resume its operations. This news comes as a positive development for the aviation industry in the country. After a period of suspension, the airline is now ready to take to the skies once again. This decision highlights the commitment of Cally Air to providing reliable and efficient services to its customers. With this resumption, travelers can look forward to a seamless and enjoyable flying experience. As the airline gears up to restart its operations, it is expected to adhere to all necessary safety protocols and regulations to ensure the well-being of its passengers. This announcement is indeed a promising step towards the recovery and growth of the aviation sector in Nigeria.
Background
The aviation industry in Nigeria is set to receive a boost as the Cross River state government announces the resumption of Cally Air flights. The virtual carrier, a joint venture between the state government and Aero Contractors, will restart operations at the Calabar airport on November 30.
Reasons for Resumption
The decision was made in anticipation of a surge in passenger demand during the upcoming Calabar Festival period. The move will also help to fill a sudden capacity vacuum caused by the reported suspension of flights by Ibom Air, according to Eno Utum Inah, the commissioner for aviation in Cross River state.
Previous Challenges
Cally Air had faced challenges earlier this year when it lost the municipality's support due to a dispute over outstanding service fees. However, Aero Contractors has continued to use aircraft bearing Cally Air's livery on its own services. The airline is a general aviation operator with fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and MRO businesses.
Recent Incident
It is worth noting that a Cally Air liveried B737-300 skidded off the runway after landing at Abuja earlier this month. The incident involving the aircraft, 5N-BYQ (msn 30334), which is one of two -300s operated by Aero on Cally Air services, is being investigated.
Positive Development for the Aviation Industry
Despite these challenges, the resumption of Cally Air flights is a positive development for the aviation industry in Nigeria. It is hoped that the airline will be able to provide a reliable service for passengers and overcome its past challenges.
Summary
We have reached out to Aero Contractors for comment on the incident and will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary. As always, safety remains our top priority in the aviation industry.
