Skyjet Aviation Services Limited office unseal by FIRS today

 The Skyjet Aviation Services Limited has been reopened for business by the Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS). The company that was sealed on Wednesday 17 August, 2016 has since been reopened at the early hours of  today after the organisations have reached resolution concerning alleged tax default on Company Income Tax (CIT) and Withholding Tax (WIT).

Confirming this is the Managing Director of Skyjet, Shirish Raval  who said, “there was some communication gaps between the company and inland revenue enforcement unit which they were not aware of.  They were also not aware of some discharged obligation, which would not have warranted the sealing of the office in the first place.”

Both entities have agreed to reconcile positions on identified areas in contention.

“The operations of the company have since commenced and our office reopened by them”- says Raval .

The company is at the verge of putting up a state-of-the-art maintenance facility in Abuja. In addition to Aircraft Charter, SkyJet also provides Aircraft Sales, Aircraft Maintenance, and Aircraft Management. The company has a current Aircraft Operating Certificate (AOC) from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and an Aircraft Maintenance Organization Certificate (AMO) NCAA.

SkyJet Aviation Services Limited is the commercial sales representative to Gulfstream Aerospace Corporations  in central Africa covering Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar.

Also, Skyjet Aviation is the sales representative for the Viking Twin Otter Series 400 in multiple central African countries, including Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, Egypt, Uganda, Sudan, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Chad, Mali, the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Gabon.
