History

Slok Air and Slok Air Gambia

Slok Air International was founded in Nigeria by the Slok Group.

Service was halted in the end of December 2007 due to maintenance and was resumed mid-February 2008, but by July published reports described financial difficulties with the airline, which continued into the autumn of 2008 with creditors filling lawsuits against the firm, seeking payments. By the end of October 2008, despite any formal announcement, press release, or news report, it was no longer possible to book flights with the airline, which had stopped flying.[1][2][3]

Slok Air International

Once again, the airline was renamed to Slok Air International in early 2009. Flights re-commenced in February of the same year.
