Med-View Airline is an airline based in Lagos, Nigeria.
History[]
The airline was founded in 2007 as a charter airline, mainly operating Hajj flights, and has offered domestic passenger services since November 2012. It has since expanded into regional and long-haul scheduled passenger routes. Med-View Airline Plc was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange on January 31, 2017.[1]
The airline laid off 90% of its employees between November 2017 and June 2018. Med-View Airline sacked and owes existing workers at least N1.5billion in salary arrears, pension and other entitlements.[2] On April 2018, Medview Airline suspended international flight operations[3] mostly due to debts and decreased aircraft. By October 2018, Medview had reportedly sacked over 100 staff[4] some of who were owed about 6 months salaries. As of August, 2019 Medview reportedly shutdown all operations[5] as its only operating aircraft went out of service. The company however promises to bounce back soon.
The airline is currently banned from operating in the European Union.[6]
Destinations[]
Med-View Airline had previously operated to nine domestic and nine international scheduled destinations in states across Nigeria, West Africa, Europe, and the Middle East (as of 22 February 2015).[7]
