Aero Contractors has introduced new uniform accessories to revamp its smart look image to re-connect with its customers.
The airline, which is the oldest commercial airline in Nigeria known for its enviable security record, said it rebranded its image to be in tune with its accomplishments in the last two years and the fact that it is now poised to serve its customers better with increased fleet, renewal of old routes and addition of new routes.
Speaking during the unveiling of the uniform accessories at Murtala Muhammed Airport terminal 2, Lagos (MMA2) at the weekend, Aero Contractors Cabin Crew Executive, Kudirat Bello said the event was to promote and elevate Aero brand for a better service and seamless service delivery to its passengers.
“We are using this medium to tell the public that we are back and we are back for good. We are in business. We changed the uniform accessories such as the tie and scarf just to enhance the beauty of our uniform. We are telling our passengers to expect us in a big way. We have increased in fleet. Our service delivery will be impeccable this time around; we have significantly improved our service,” Bello said.
Also speaking during the event, the CEO of Aero Contractors, Captain Ado Sanusi said the airline is starting new routes and reinstating those routes that it suspended.
“When I joined we were doing eight flights a day, we were servicing only Abuja and Port Harcourt. In the past 24 months, we have increased to more than 30 flights daily. We were carrying close to 8,000 passengers a month then; now we are doing almost 33,000 passengers every month.
“We have included Kano to our routes. We introduced more frequencies into Abuja. We now operate Abuja-Asaba, Warri, Uyo and we are in the process of introducing Yola. We will operate Lagos-Yola, Abuja-Yola, Yola-Abuja and Yola-Lagos. This will open more routes for our passengers. Sokoto bound passengers going to Yola can come and join our Yola flight and those from Asaba can join our Yola flight.
“We are opening up Nigeria for our esteemed passengers. We believe that by the end of first half of this year, we should have opened new routes in the Eastern part of the country. We are looking at Owerri and Enugu and it will come very soon. Uyo was there before, so we are reinstating it.”
Speaking on its fleet expansion, Sanusi recalled that the airline started with one aircraft in the beginning of 2017 but has increased to four, adding that it intends to bring more airplanes.
“Our aim is to have a 15-aircraft airline. What we have done today is to tell passengers that we are back and we pride in safety and reliability, which is the best way to fly in Aero,” he said.
