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.{{cite web|url=https://centreforaviation.com/data/profiles/airlines/slok-air-s0|title=Slok Air Airline Profile|publisher=Centre for Aviation, part of the Aviation Week Network (CAPA)|accessdate=2021-06-26|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20210126095633if_/https://centreforaviation.com/data/profiles/airlines/slok-air-s0|archivedate=2021-01-26|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/27629-nigerias-slok-air-in-talks-with-emirates-to-resume-operations|title=Nigeria's Slok Air in talks with Emirates to resume operations|publisher=ch-aviation GmbH|date=2014-04-30|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20210626204912/https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/27629-nigerias-slok-air-in-talks-with-emirates-to-resume-operations|archivedate=2021-06-26|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.accessgambia.com/information/slok-air.html|title=Slok Air International Gambia Limited|publisher=Access Gambia|accessdate=2021-06-26|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171121202458/http://www.accessgambia.com/information/slok-air.html|archivedate=2017-11-21|url-status=live}}
