Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Ethiopian Airlines (ET) consortium has been selected as the preferred bidder for Nigeria Air, owning 49 percent of the national carrier, according to the Nigerian newspaper \u201cThe Cable\u201d.<\/p>\n

Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika said during a media briefing on Friday in Abuja that ET scored 89 percent out of 100 in the technical bidding process and 15 out of 20 as regards financial bids.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a careful, detailed and ICRC governed selection process, Ethiopian Airlines (ET) Consortium has been selected as the preferred bidder, offering an owner consortium of 3 Nigerian investors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nigerian investors are MRS, SAHCO and the Nigerian Sovereign Fund (46%), FGN owning 5% and ET 49%. The consortium has been subject to a due diligence process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe contract will be negotiated between consortium and FGN, leading to a full business case (FBC) which will be expected to be approved by the federal executive council (FEC). We expect this process to take 6-8 weeks,\u201d the paper quoted the minister.<\/p>\n

The aviation minister said the national carrier would launch with three Boeing 737-800s in a configuration very suitable for the Nigerian market.<\/p>\n
