AIRLINE AMBITIONS GROUNDED: CEO Speaks Out on Politicized Nigeria Partnership

In a recent interview, Tewolde Gebremariam, CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, revealed that the company’s partnership with Nigeria to establish a new airline was politicized, leading to stagnation. The joint venture aimed to create a new Nigerian national carrier, but progress has been slow due to political interference.

Gebremariam expressed frustration with the delays, citing the importance of a professional and business-driven approach to establishing a successful airline. He emphasized Ethiopian Airlines’ commitment to the partnership and its desire to see the project through to completion.

Despite the challenges, Gebremariam remains optimistic about the future of aviation in Nigeria and the potential for a successful partnership. He highlighted the importance of collaboration and the need for a clear, business-focused strategy to drive progress.
