NIGERIA’S GREEN AFRICA AIRWAYS ORDERS 100 BOEING 737 MAX 8


LONDON – Nigerian start-up Green Africa Airways has today confirmed a commitment for up to 100 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, split into 50 firm orders and 50 options.

The deal is worth an estimated $11.7 billion at current list prices, making it the largest Boeing aircraft order from an African carrier.

The announcement comes in as the airline begins to finalize proceedings to launch commercial operations.

Babawande Afolabi, Founder, and CEO at Green Africa Airways said that “Today is a historic day for the Nigerian and African aviation industry, this landmark deal takes us much closer to our long-held dream of building a world-class airline that will unlock a new realm of positive possibilities for millions of customers.”

“This deal is a bold symbol of the dynamism, resilience and soaring entrepreneurial drive of the next generation of Nigerians and Africans,” he added.


Based in Lagos, Nigeria, Green Africa Airways has been established with the goal of providing “quality and affordable air travel and to be a significant contributor to the economic development of Nigeria and the African continent.”

AIRLINE INDUSTRY HEAVYWEIGHTS JOINING IN
The Nigerian carrier has recently been awarded its AOC from the Nigerian authorities.

Helped by a group of industry professionals, led by Tom Horton, former Chairman/CEO of American Airlines; William Shaw, Founder and former CEO of VivaColombia; and Virasb Vahidi, former CCO of American Airlines, the Nigerian startup has a group of knowledgeable and successful experts behind it.

Both Horton and Vahidi were responsible for bringing American Airlines out of bankruptcy, re-launching the carrier, introducing its new corporate identity, and welcome its first Boeing 777-300(ER) into service.

Vahidi said that “Nigeria is uniquely positioned to be the home of the next major value airline. The strategic partnership with Boeing positions Green Africa Airways to expand and improve air travel for customers in Nigeria, and further strengthens the relationship between the United States, Nigeria, and Africa.”

NIGERIAN AVIATION EXPECTED TO GROW
The airline has plans to develop the Nigerian market with the goal of building up a strong Pan African network.

In Boeing’s 20-year Commercial Market Outlook, it forecasts that the airline industry in Africa will require 1,190 new planes, as the continent continues to grow both intra-continental and intercontinental connectivity.


Ihssane Mounir, SVP of Commercial Sales and Marketing at Boeing Company, added that “The growth potential for air travel across Nigeria and Africa is extraordinary, with the airplane fleet expected to more than double over the next 20 years.”

“We look forward to Green Africa Airways building their fleet with the MAX and taking advantage of the jet’s efficiency and dependability to open new options across Nigeria and the African continent. Boeing will be a trusted partner to Green Africa Airways as the MAX is introduced into their operations and through their long-term success,” he said.

UPS AND DOWNS FOR THE 737 MAX PROGRAM IN 2018
The news today come in a week where Boeing has celebrated many firsts for the 737 MAX program, with Eastar Jet taking delivery of the first Korean 737 MAX plane and with Boeing completing its first aircraft at its new China completion facility.

Earlier in September, Nigerian carrier Air Peace also booked an order for 10 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in Lagos. The deal was valued at $1.17 billion.



With both orders combined, the Nigerian market is set to receive 110 brand-new 737 MAX planes over the next few years—revamping an industry that has needed an injection of fresh machinery for a very long time.

Today marks yet another successful landmark for the 737 MAX program, putting an end to a year that has had its ups and downs with hundreds of sales and the Lion Air accident that took the lives of 190 people in Indonesia.

A deal of such magnitude either involves country government or seasoned well grounded experienced known players in the field..are you aware $11.6BN is 30% of our foreign reserve, not one that formed a board in may 2018.

But i never doubted that of Air Peace.. its believeable although it might be lies aswell.

For the Nigerian Green Airline:
Where is the office located?
Terminals?
Website?
Form CO2?
Form CO7?

We saw more with Nigerian Air, they even dragged Qatar Air into the lies.

There is an inherent bile that is making you to doubt authentic news but believe lies and propaganda like the man in Aso Rock is Jubril.. This news was carried by notable international organisations, yet you chose to believe in your bias and hatred.

Cant underestimate Lai mohammed.... saudia Airline ordered for 30 despite being in operation since 1945, Air peace ordered 10 (which is hard to believe), but you expect sane people to believe a new company with no parent coy, said to be based in Nigeria with not even a website ordered 100 with $11.6bn being 30% of the countries reserve while Dangote is worth $14bn and being the richest man in Africa

Ahhh nooo, deji calm down.. i see Lai Mohammed written all-over.

Magalan:


Cant underestimate Lai mohammed....

You mean Lai Mohammed asked the international aviation news magazine, Financial Times, MSN news etc to carry a false a news?

MOU's are not new in Nigeria, its tissue paper here, well its committment confirmation, not like a down payment was made.

Moreover this is a coy that just set its board in May 2018 with midlevel officers of Arik/Aero.

Magalan:

You confuse the current Govt with the previous kleptomania that squandered real opportunities. If you care to pay attention to details, you will see how the deal is beyond MOU.

I am still taking this news with a pinch of salt , I would love to know the commitment level this unknown green air to this deal before I am sure it's not another hype like the the time Arik claimed to have ordered 10 Boeing 787 dreamliner. which haven't seen till date... The cost of 100 737 Max 10 comes to about 12 billion dollars at bulk discount rates and my concern is that where does green air intend to raise that kind of capital from and how does it intend to recoup it given that it plans to start operationoperations in the low profit margin domestic Nigerian market ?

100 you say?

Commitment ni ooh.

Wooww, so many silent billionaires in this country...Another massive investment in the aviation industry!

These are the kind of news we hope to keep hearing out of Nigeria.

God bless Green Air.

ok
