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. <ref>[http://www.nigeria.gov.ng/NR/exeres/B30C7654-36D9-4C57-837C-1EAB4A103091.htm?id=637 Nigeria Direct] 2 May 2007</ref> |
