Freedom Air Services was an airline based in Kaduna, Nigeria. It operated scheduled domestic services and charter flights within West Africa. Its main bases were Mallam Aminu International Airport, Kano and Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.[1]
The Nigerian government set a deadline of April 30, 2007 for all airlines operating in the country to re-capitalise or be grounded, in an effort to ensure better services and safety. This airline did not satisfy the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA)’s criteria in terms of re-capitalization and was re-registered for operation and does not operate services any longer.[2]
