First Nation Airways (Lagos) has resumed operations with its maiden flight between Lagos and Abuja on September 30. Twice daily flights are onboard the airline's fleet of two A319-100s, leased from the International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC). FirstNation was founded by the staff of Bellview Airlines (Lagos) in 2009 following that carrier's demise. However, liquidity problems forced First Nation to suspend flights last year after its fleet of three A320-200s was repossessed by lessors, the Aviation Capital Group.
