The flight scheduled for July 25, will depart Newmark USA for Lagos and as expected will on the 26th leave Lagos for Toronto and Newmark with the stranded passengers.
According to the His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II , this was a great development in the right direction, saying “I did not think twice when they approached me for assistance to facilitate a charter flight for them, many have been without their families for four months or more.”
He said the pandemic is a collective fight and it was important to support all that need support both at home and abroad.
Also speaking on the development, the Managing Director of 7 Star Global Hanger Ltd, Mr. Isaac Balami said “We are working with all the necessary local and international authorities to make this possible and safe for passengers. The cost is reasonable, booking and payment process is transparent.
