Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. The following documents show that the company known as Air Sierra Leone Limited was incorporated as a private limited company (#16412879) in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2025; two days after it reportedly made its first flight into Sierra Leone from London-Gatwick on 26 April 2025.
Corporate records from the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales list two individuals as executive directors of Air Sierra Leone: Emmanuel Ayuba Iza and Tonye Rex Idaminabo.
Documentary records filed with the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales also state that Emmanuel Ayuba Iza, born 1979 and listed as Chief Executive Officer of Air Sierra Leone, is a national of St. Lucia and resident of the United Arab Emirates; while his counterpart, Tonye Rex Idaminabo, born in 1985 and listed as a consultant, is a Nigerian resident in Scotland.
The company’s registration records provide that Emmanuel Ayuba Iza and Tonye Rex Idaminabo are the joint shareholders of the company, although they both do not individually hold more than 50% of the company’s shares.
The above raises the following questions:
