We promise to prioritize safety in all of 7Star’s operations.” He also thanked the NCAA for its approval and assured that professionalism would be strictly enforced.

The Chairman of 7Star airline, Chief Daniel Richard, in celebrating the feat assured Nigerians that ” the same way 7Star hangar, a sister company to the new 7Star airlines, did not let Nigerians and aviation community down by meeting up with global standards, is the same way the airline will follow suit”.
