QuickAir Restructures, Relaunches Domestic GDS Platform for Nigerian Travel Agents

…Appoints New Leadership Team to Drive Innovation in Aviation Technology Sector

QuickAir, a leading aviation technology solutions provider, has announced a comprehensive corporate restructuring and the relaunch of its domestic Global Distribution System (GDS) specifically designed for Nigerian travel agents. The company has appointed a new leadership team to spearhead its ambitious expansion plans in the Nigerian aviation sector.

Engr. Suleiman Ibrahim was recently elected the new Chairman of QuickAir Networks Ltd, bringing over two decades of experience in technology infrastructure and aviation systems. Dr. Segun Oyebolu assumes the dual role of Deputy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, while Mr. Muyiwa Amoo joins as Executive Director, Finance & Administration.

The relaunched GDS platform offers Nigerian travel agents real-time access to domestic flight inventory, competitive pricing, and seamless booking capabilities across all major Nigerian airlines. This innovative system addresses long-standing challenges in the local travel industry, including fragmented booking systems and limited access to comprehensive flight data.

“Our restructuring represents a strategic pivot to better serve the Nigerian aviation market,” said Engr. Suleiman Ibrahim, Chairman of QuickAir Networks. “With the relaunch of our domestic GDS, we are democratizing access to flight inventory and empowering travel agents with world-class technology that was previously unavailable in this market.”

Addressing the company’s previous challenges, Engr. Ibrahim added: “We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences caused by the temporary suspension of our operations in December 2022. I want to personally reassure all our existing customers that their wallet balances will be fully restored. This is not just a promise but a commitment we are backing with immediate action. Customer trust is paramount to us, and we are taking all necessary steps to ensure a seamless transition for our valued partners.”

Dr. Segun Oyebolu, Deputy Chairman/CEO, emphasized the platform’s potential impact: “QuickAir’s GDS will revolutionize how travel agents operate in Nigeria. By providing a unified platform that aggregates domestic flight options, we’re reducing booking time by up to 70% and significantly improving the customer experience.”

The new GDS platform features include real-time seat availability, instant confirmation, multi-airline fare and schedule comparison, and integrated payment solutions supporting multiple Nigerian payment methods. The system is designed to handle over 10,000 concurrent users and process transactions within seconds.

Mr. Muyiwa Amoo, Executive Director, Finance & Administration, added: “Our investment in this technology infrastructure demonstrates our commitment to the Nigerian market. We project that our platform will facilitate over ₦50 billion in domestic flight bookings within the first year of operation.”

QuickAir’s restructuring comes at a crucial time when the Nigerian aviation industry is experiencing significant growth, with domestic passenger traffic increasing by 15% annually. The company plans to onboard over 5,000 travel agents nationwide within the next six months.

The company has established a dedicated customer service team to handle wallet restoration requests and ensure all accounts are reconciled within 30 days. Existing customers can access their accounts through the new platform using their previous credentials or contact the support team for assistance.

The platform is now live and available to registered travel agents across Nigeria. QuickAir will conduct free training sessions in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt throughout the coming month to ensure smooth adoption of the new system.
