This will require extensive market analysis, financial modelling, and competitive intelligence gathering.
Human Resources Officer: This position calls for an HR professional to support the airline's human resources unit across its multiple locations in Nigeria. The role encompasses a wide range of duties including assisting with recruitment processes, managing employee onboarding, handling documentation, overseeing daily HR operations, ensuring policy implementation, and maintaining compliance with Nigerian labour laws.

Context and Background of the Airline
This recruitment drive is part of the airline's broader strategy to enhance its service quality and expand its operational capacity. The announcement underscores UNA's investment in building a robust workforce capable of driving innovation and excellence in Nigeria's competitive aviation sector.
The news follows a recent incident involving the airline, where it issued warnings to social media personalities Martins Vincent Otse (VeryDarkMan) and Freedom Okpetoritse Atsepoyi (Mr Jollof) following a mid-air altercation on Flight UN0523 from Asaba to Lagos on November 17, 2025. The airline's management has since reaffirmed its commitment to passenger safety and order.
