History

Capital Airlines was founded in 2003.[1] In mid-2005, Capital Airlines partners with Synergy Group to operate Nigeria's viable fringe airports and to open some alternative airports, hitherto considered unviable.

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. Capital Airlines satisfied the demanded criteria in terms of re-capitalization and was re-registered for operation.[3]

In 2009, Capital Airlines failed to meet the NCAA (Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority) requirement of having more than one aircraft,^{[further explanation needed]} forcing it to suspend all flights in October 2009. The company was subsequently dissolved in 2010.[4]

Destinations

In July 2007, Capital Airlines had offered scheduled flights from Lagos to Abuja, Ilorin and Minna.^{[citation needed]}

Fleet

Capital Airlines consisted of a fleet of 3 Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia turboprop aircraft.[1]
