Recession: Aero Contractors Commences Suspension of Services September 1By Niyi AdeyiLAGOS, NIGERIA (AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Owing to the lingering lull in the country’s economy, the management of Aero Contractors Airline has announced its plan to suspend scheduled services from Thursday, September 1, 2016. The airline Wednesday explained that the move was part of the strategic business realignment to reposition the organization and return it to profitability. Aero which is the second largest carrier in Nigeria, explained that the airline had been buckled down with many challenges in the past six months that have impacted on its business as well as scheduled services operations. These factors, according to Aero, are both internal and external environmental factors that have made it difficult for it to continue its scheduled services. “The implication of the suspension of scheduled services operations extends to all staffs directly and indirectly involved in providing services as they are effectively to proceed on indefinite leave of absence during the period of non-services” said the airline.
