According to reports, the airline’s strategy is to first develop the Nigerian market and then ‘build a strong Pan African network.’

Last January, the startup announced erudite investor, Gbenga Oyebode was joining its founding board of directors. The company in May 2018 also announced the appointment of  Caribbean Airlines VP-operations Jag Singh as COO and former JetBlue Airways VP-flight operations, Bart Roberts, as safety review board chairman.

A visit to Green Airways website indicates the company is still in its startup phase with no clear indication of when it starts to commence operations. The airline in July obtained Series A financing from several private equity investors led by Kuramo Capital Management.
