The airline was established in 1999 and started operations in March 2000. It is owned by [[Buba Marwa]] (51%) and others (49%).<ref name="FI"/> The Nigerian government set a deadline of April 30, 2007 for all airlines operating in the country to re-capitalise or be grounded, in an effort to ensure better services and safety. Seven airlines failed to meet the deadline and as a result would not be allowed fly in Nigeria’s airspace with effect from April 30, 2007. These were: [[ADC Airlines]], [[Fresh Air (airline)|Fresh Air]], [[Sosoliso Airlines]], Albarka Air, [[Chrome Air Service]], [[Dasab Airlines]] and [[Space World Airline]]. The affected airlines would only fly when they satisfied the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA)’s criteria in terms of re-capitalization and thus be re-registered for operation. |
