Okada Air was Nigeria's first private airline. It was started in 1983 by Sir Gabriel Igbinedion and stopped operating in 1997.
The airline's logo was the Queen Idia mask. Okada Air flew to 9 airports in Nigeria and was one of the biggest airlines in Africa. In 1992, it was allowed to fly internationally. At one point, it even used a big Boeing 747 plane for special flights around the world, including across the Pacific Ocean.
Every year, it took people on pilgrimages to the Holy Lands. Although the airline grew, it eventually shut down in 1997.
