Organisational resilience was measured in terms of anticipatory ability, robustness, organisational adaptability, and organisational ability. The study adopted an explanatory research design. Pearson product moment correlation served as the test statistic, relying on SPSS 22.0. The study found that entrepreneurial proactiveness relates to organizational resilience of domestic airlines in Nigeria. The study concludes that entrepreneurial proactiveness informs organisational resilience of domestic airlines in Nigeria; and recommends that domestic airlines in Nigeria that seek improved reliance should be proactive by anticipating and reacting to foreseeable changes in the business environment, and also embrace positive changes.

The complexities of doing business need organisations to be resilient in order to survive and compete effectively in the hostile business climate (Akani et al., 2020). Igbatayo and Igbinedion (2014) state that the profile of domestic airlines in Nigeria has increased significantly over the last few decades, as air travel has been the commonest mode of transportation between and within countries, such as Nigeria. Domestic airlines operators in Nigeria work consistently on their product development and innovation capacities in order to distinguish themselves from rivals (Ayantoyinbo, 2015). The majority of domestic airlines in Nigeria are full-service, low-cost, charter, and cargo airlines that have undergone unprecedented expansion, change, and evolution (Shobande & Akinbomi, 2020); with most of them operating nationally and regionally. The advent of aviation in Nigeria is traceable to 1925, when a violent rivalry between the British colonial authorities and the citizens of Kano city spurred the growth of the sector prior to independence. Post-independence, the Federal Government purchased the remaining shares of Nigerian Airways, so acquiring full ownership of the airline. According to Oghojafor and Alaneme (2014), Nigerian Airways held a monopoly on domestic services. However, private airlines have since successfully broken the monopoly of Nigerian Airways and have continued to provide commercial aviation services. The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) manages domestic airlines, while the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) regulates the aviation business in Nigeria.
