Abuja, Nigeria — The President of the Binani Group, Aminatu Dahiru Chiroma, has declared that the newly launched Binani Air is ready to redefine service standards in Nigeria’s aviation industry following the airline’s inaugural commercial flight.
Speaking during the launch ceremony, Chiroma said the airline was established to introduce a new standard of quality service, operational consistency, and customer satisfaction within the country’s aviation sector.
The launch marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s aviation history, as Binani Air is widely recognised as the first airline owned by a Northern Nigerian woman, representing a major breakthrough for women in business and aviation leadership.
“Insha-Allah, this is the day we have all been waiting for and I am glad it is finally here,” Chiroma said during the event.

She noted that despite the competitiveness of the aviation industry, the airline is fully prepared to compete by delivering world-class services to passengers across Nigeria.
“We are ready and set to show Nigerians what it means to have the best,” she added.
According to Chiroma, early feedback from passengers regarding the airline’s hospitality and onboard services already reflects the standards the company intends to maintain.

She described the positive reactions from passengers during the inaugural operations as an indication of the quality experience Nigerians should expect from Binani Air.
The airline commenced its first commercial operations with flights connecting Abuja, Kano and Yola, attracting attention from aviation stakeholders and passengers who described the development as a major addition to Nigeria’s growing aviation industry.
