Azman Air has suspended its operation indefinitely as a result of a shortage of aircraft.
This was announced in a memo, signed by Magaji Misau, its Human Resource Manager.
In the memo titled: ‘Placement of Leave Without Pay,” the airline asked all of its staff to proceed on leave with an exception of an under-listed eight names.
The letter read: “As you are aware, our domestic operation has been put on hold for a while due to the conveyance of our aircraft for C-checks and the MROs have given a longer time of completion.
“In view of the above, the management directed to write and communicate its decision that all staff have been placed on leave without pay with effect from August 1, 2023.
