The statement quoted the carrier’s director of administration, Mr. Linus Awute as saying: “Our decision to reward our customers is deliberate. Without them, we would have had nobody to serve.

We also look forward to a more enduring and mutually beneficial relationship with our customers and sales agents.”
For his part, the chief operations officer, Mr. Osita Okonkwo said: “We thank God for seeing us through our second year of operations. It has been an interesting time of value addition to the aviation sector in Nigeria. We started operations flying from Lagos into Enugu, Abuja, and Asaba. We have expanded into Osubi in Warri, Owerri, Port Harcourt, and Anambra and are now set to begin flying into Jos and Benin.
“The second year has been more challenging than our first year. During this period, we faced the challenges created by short supply and high prices of aviation fuel, which impacted negatively on regular operations leading to flight rescheduling, delays, and even cancellations. It has not been easy managing those challenges, especially when you are determined to ensure customer satisfaction.
“We have also confronted the issue of non-availability and high rate of forex. These are unforeseen developments that tasked the industry. No operator planned it, and both factors critically challenged company’s operational plans. However, we have remained focused on our strategic plan. We would continue to ensure that we offer the best of services to our customers at all times. Going into our third year, we shall do our best to draw on lessons learnt to continuously improve our services.
“We also thank our customers for their support to United Nigeria Airlines while looking forward to serving them, and more people, better as the years unfold”.
