Nigeria Airways: A Peek Into Its Heydays by daewoorazer(m): 2:00am On Apr 15, 2018 |
Nigeria Airways Ltd., widely regarded as Nigeria Airways, was founded in 1958 after the dissolution of the defunct West African Airways Corporation (WAAC). It started operations on Oct 1, 1958 and struggled through the years until it was shutdown due to poor management, huge debts and corruption in 2003. It’s demise wasn’t in isolation of the IMF (international monetary fund) policies which initiated the beginnings that led to its end. Let’s look at some pictures which demonstrates NA in its years: Below was the engineering base of NA 7 Likes

daewoorazer:^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ Great post! It brings back memories for me flying onboard my first Nigeria Airways aircraft in the 1970s through to the 1990s. From the Fokker-27, DC-10, Airbus A-310... and more! Captain John Billy-Eko is late now, but he was one of the iconic Nigeria Airways pilots who flew the Boeing 747. He flew the only operational Nigeria Airways Boeing 747 to Newyork in 1987 and got arrested for smuggling hard drugs at the JFK Airport. Captain J. Billy-Eko was originally a Ghanaian. The media was abuzz in 1987 with stories about him and his picture of his car that was parked at the MMIA car park was published on the front page of some major newspapers. Captain Billy-Eko was one of the best Boeing 747 pilots on earth. "Skypower Puts You First" ~Slogan as of 1979 "Nigeria Airways... We'll Take You There...!" Below are two pictures of Nigeria Airways Airbus A-310 and Boeing 747. The Airbus A-310 is one of 4 that Nigeria took delivery of in December 1985 after being ordered for in 1981. Nigeria Airways... Truly Iconic! 11 Likes 1 Share
