History
The airline was founded in 2007 as a charter airline, mainly operating Hajj flights, and has offered domestic passenger services since November 2012. It had since expanded into regional and long-haul scheduled passenger routes. Med-View Airline Plc was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange on 31 January 2017.[2]
The airline laid off 90% of its employees between November 2017 and June 2018. Med-View Airline sacked and owes existing workers at least N1.5billion in salary arrears, pension and other entitlements.[3] In April 2018, Medview Airline suspended international flight operations[4] mostly due to debts and decreased aircraft. By October 2018, Medview had reportedly sacked over 100 staff,[5] some of whom were owed about 6 months' salaries. As of August 2019 Medview reportedly shutdown all operations[6] as its only operating aircraft went out of service. The airline was the only Nigerian airline to be listed in the list of air carriers banned in the European Union.[7]
As of November 2022, Nigerian authorities confirmed that the airline no longer holds a valid air operator certificate.[1]
