Africa World Airlines  is eyeing a Nigerian Air Operators Certificate to allow it to operate domestic flights within the country. 


Ghana's B&FT newswire reports that the airline, a subsidiary of Hainan Airlines, will acquire two additional aircraft before year end, to add to its two ERJ-145s. Flights from Accra to Lagos are now scheduled for late November while Abuja is slated for mid-December.
