Harold Demuren of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority said Wednesday that Air Nigeria would be able to fly again after investigators finished their checks. The investigation comes after engineers at the airline carried out an on-and-off strike at the carrier.
A spokesman for the airline could not be immediately reached, though an operator at its call center said the airline hoped to resume flights Thursday.
The temporary grounding of Air Nigeria comes after a Dana Air flight June 3 crashed in Lagos, killing all 153 people on board and others on the ground. A cause for that crash has yet to be determined. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
