Ehiogie O Hope is the CEO/Accountable Manager, Enived Air and Logistics Ltd. In this interview with WALE OLAPADE, he speaks on his plan to create seamless collaboration in the Nigeria airspace and other sundry issues.

You recently opened an operational office for Enived Air in Abuja, what is the motive behind that move?

Actually since we got our ATOL and with plans to start special travel operations, Abuja is key to that plan. We are also working on other states where we will be servicing when Enived air fully commences its scheduled operations soon by God’s grace. As you know, we are favouring five major start out routes in Nigeria.

We can say the motive is to be able to influence the travel reality in Nigeria starting from the capital.

With the recent NCAA Air Travel Organiser’s Licence granted Enived Air & Logistics Ltd, what should the travel public expect and what are your mandate?

For one who have embarked on what many called an impossible journey/dream/vision, every milestone encourages us to keep going.

For those who have been following the Enived dream for years, you will agree with me that we come with a standard that focuses on each individual. As we like to put it “we are big enough to accommodate your travel dreams and we are small enough to walk this path to success with you as a travel companion”.

For us at Enived Air, it’s not just about flying but building a community of travel enthusiasts, travel service providers and of course, travel service buyers too. So receiving the ATOL has further energised us to keep going. I personally believe that the reality of Enived Air as an indigenous airline and being from Edo State after the defunct Okada Air owned by our respected father in the state, the Esama of Benin Kingdom, I believe it will set a platform of possibilities for other young people to go all out for their dreams. I don’t believe anything is impossible. Expect fun, smiles, culture, family experience, transparency, safety and of course, royalty. We are currently building an amazing team of young but smart people under the mentorship of those who have gone ahead of us. Our team will be very exciting and that you can be double sure.

In what ways are you going to activate the partnership bid to effectively benefit from the industry business value chain to reflect your love for stakeholders’ engagement?
