With the recent lunch of CALLY AIR’s maiden flight, the Cross River State of Nigeria joins the list of Nigerian states establishing and owning their own airlines. This fulfills Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River State's dream for his state to own its own airlines, in common with its neighbors like Akwa Ibom State which owns its own airlines called “IBOM AIR.”

The new Cross River State airline: CALLY AIR: 

It is hoped that CALLY AIR will increase the number of airlines serving the Cross Rive State, increase competition among the airlines and consequently benefit airline passengers by reducing the price of airfares from Lagos to Calabar etc.

The new airline will be based in Calabar Airport, commonly referred to as Margaret Ekpo International Airport. CALLY AIR has been a project in the works for many years now and is allegedly a joint venture between The Cross River State Government and DANA Group, under a public-private agreement.

The new airline will serve as an airlifts line, and a part of the Cross River State’s Government tourism investment drive. It is also anticipated the airline will help build up the state’s internal revenue generation base and reduce its reliance on federal government allocations.

Alleging to be a professor of science, he asserted that he “knows how this virus moves; I know its etiology, I know it transmissibility, I know its antigenicity;”

Governor Ayade further asserted “because I do, I know that once you put on this mask, you have already been protected” and “You don’t need social distancing when you are properly protected because your mucal glands that secretes the mucus and the musins already forms a network of coats to attack the virus,” Ayade announced to a cheering audience.
