Archive note: This article was published in 2013 and discussed a forecast through 2020. Its demand, fleet, aircraft-value, infrastructure, regulatory, staffing, and safety statements are historical and should not be presented as current conditions.
The original commentary described Nigeria as a possible growth market for business aviation and repeated projections attributed at the time to government and industry sources. Forecasts do not establish the number of aircraft later acquired, the aircraft currently based in a country, or the availability of charter service.
A current market assessment needs dated primary sources for registrations, movements, airports, operators, regulation, maintenance capacity, and economic activity. A current trip also requires route-specific permits, airports, handling, customs, aircraft, and a properly licensed direct air carrier to be confirmed in writing.
