Med-View Airline (Kano) commenced regional West African operations on September 15 with the launch of daily Lagos to Accra flights. Until now, the carrier had focussed on domestic Nigerian flights connecting Lagos with Abuja, Kano, Port Harcourt Awolowo, Enugu, and Yola.
Managing Director, Alhaji Muneer Bankole, told Nigeria's Tribune on arrival in the Ghanaian capital that Med-View intends to expand its network to include Dakar Yoff-Léopold Sédar Senghor International in Senegal, Abidjan in the Ivory Coast, Bamako in Mali, and Libreville Leon M'Ba in Gabon with its first longhaul flights to the middle East due to commence shortly.
“We are commencing with Dubai International on November 22. Then, Jeddah International on January 10, 2015. It is done already. All are open, certificated and approved and after that, we are going to stop for six months before we take any leg again. It is not easy to run this business, but we assure our passengers that we will do it well for them,” he said.
In the long term, the airline also aims to begin flights to Europe.
