The Group Chief Executive Officer of Ethiopian Airlines, Mr. Mesfin Tasew, has shed more light on the controversy around the setting up of Nigeria Air. It also explained that the federal government requested that the Nigeria Air logo be painted on the Ethiopian Airlines aircraft for inspection and the airline agreed. He said, “At one point, the leadership of Nigeria Air, which doesn’t include Ethiopian Airlines, asked us to bring aircraft painted with the Nigerian logo to facilitate the progress of the Air Operators’ Certificate. Tasew emphasized that Nigeria Air was already established before Ethiopian Airlines was invited to partner with it. For your information, the logo was already defined by them, it was not by Ethiopian Airlines.
