Azman Air has sent all of its staff on a compulsory leave without pay, indefinitely.
Speaking with TheCable, Nurudden Aliyu, the airline’s spokesperson, said the decision was made due to a number of factors, including the ongoing C-checks on its aircraft and the high cost of operations.
“We have temporarily suspended the operation and it was due to all our 737 we are using for domestic operation are due for C-checks,” Aliyu said.“We have already sent two of them to a maintenance facility in Turkey, but unfortunately, since we sent the aircraft there, there is a queue“The other two we are using here are also due for maintenance and we are trying to send them for C-checks also.
“We have been doing on-and-off operations since March, sometimes with one aircraft. So we decided, due to this harsh situation, to temporarily suspend domestic operation until we put our house in order,” the spokesperson said.
