Executive Jet’s operating license was recently suspended indefinitely by the Ministry of Aviation after flouting lockdown guidelines for flying Nigerian artiste, Naira Marley and his crew to Abuja for a concert.

A statement by Anthony Chiejina, Group Head, Branding and Corporate Communications, Dangote Group denied claims that Dangote is a co-owner of Executive Jets Services Ltd.

The statement further denied ownership of the Bombardier Challenger 605 with registration number 5N-EXS.
