Niger Airlines is the Nigerien flag carrier headquartered in Niamey and based at Diori Hamani International Airport.[1]
The airline was founded in 2012 and started services in 2014 to replace defunct Air Niger.[3][2] It commenced services with domestic operations connecting mining settlements as well as pilgrimage flights.[2] In November 2022, Niger Airlines has been temporarily grounded by the Nigerien authorities citing safety concerns.[3] Since December 2023 the airline uses an ATR-72 aircraft (5T-CSD) for their flights.[citation needed]
