Obike Air is a new proposed airline, backed by Nigerian visionary and CEO of The Obike group, Ifeanyi Obike (whose net-worth by 2030 is predicted to stand at 48.7 billion USD). Ifeanyi Obike, who is currently promoting his ambitions to spark investment, has stated that he envisions Obike Air being a global airline. Obike hopes that his airline will be able to rival existing global carriers such as British Airways, Lufthansa, Qatar Airways, and Virgin Atlantic.
