First Nation Airways Ltd. Is an airline with its headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria.

History

The company is founded and chaired by the ex-CEO of Bellview Kayode Odukoya[1] and received its first three leased Airbus A320-200 aircraft in early April 2011. The airline ceased operations in October 2012, reportedly because of problems with serviceability. The three Airbus A320s were repossessed by the lessor, Aviation Capital Group.[1]

First Nation resumed daily flights to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in October 2013 with two Airbus A319-113s formerly owned by the Italian low-cost airline Wind Jet.[2]

On 11 May 2018, the AOC of First Nation was indefinitely suspended again due to unauthorised and illegal operations[3]
