Air Midwest was formed in 2002 by two former employees of Kabo Air. It gained an operating license in 2003. Following a number of airline accidents in Nigeria, the Nigerian government asked every airline to recapitalise to a higher level, which delayed Air Midwest's launch. By December 2009, the company had acquired three Boeing 737 aeroplanes.[1]
In March 2010 the airline carried out a demonstration of a passenger evacuation.[3] Less than a month later, a test flight from Lagos to Owerri was operated.[4] In the same year, the company was dissolved, though.[5]
