The
much anticipated new national airliner is expected to take off by March
this year. That would happen after accounting firm
PricewaterhouseCoopers presents its interim report on the proposed
national carrier to government.
The firm was contracted in 2014 to work out modalities for the new carrier for the country
Deputy
Transport Minister, Joyce Bawah-Mogtari, confirmed to Joy Business
government's plans to have the new airline airborne in March 2015.
She said PricewaterhouseCoopers is going to advice on credible strategic investors in the airline.
"Chances
are it might be an existing airline with a seriously obvious brand...it
might be one of our domestic carriers that is willing to partner
government to bring back this airline", said Bawah-Mogtari.
She said although the time looks short, government is committed to ensuring the national airliner takes off in March.
"Three
months is a long time for a lot of things to happen and government has
actually indicated its preparedness to this in the shortest possible
time", she said.
