ValCon888:
That is not a Nigerian Airways plane. The logo on the tail of the aircraft shows it belongs to the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC).

Me sef I no like the state of the kontri but let's quit with the misinformation abeg.

NGpatriot:
Sadly for these sad and poor Igbos, your useless crooked and corrupt PDP uncles killed Nigerian airways and many others in that sector.

Now we have new airlines coming up and the ones on the ground like Air peace thriving and expanding.


You Igbos need to focus on your rotten and decayed abia villages and useless governors.

SweetiliciousD:


Ipob promised Nigerians new national carrier and luched only the logo with billions of dollars?

PROUDIGBO:


This patheric, insecure fool has found a way to bring IPOB into the discussion of a dead Nigeria Airways!?

You couldn't make it up!

Thanks for letting us know that you they are blind in your village.

WHO RAN DOWN NIGERIA AIRWAYS? THE YORUBAS DID. WE MUST TELL OURSELVES THE TRUTH. AFTER THE WAR, THERE WAS AN INDIGENIZATION POLICY WHERE YORUBAS BOUGHT OVER 95% OF NIGERIA'S PROPERTIES AND ABOUT 5% WENT TO THEIR NORTHERN GENOCIDE COLLABORATORS. NONE WAS BOUGHT BY THE IGBOS BECAUSE OF THE 20£ POLICY.

YORUBAS TOOK OVER THE MANAGEMENT OF NIGERIA AIRWAYS BECAUSE NORTHERNERS WERE DEEMED AS ILLITERATES AND STILL REMAIN ILLITERATES TO THIS DAY. IGBOS WERE SCHEMED OUT AS ALL THE WAR BOUNTIES WERE SHARED THEN BETWEEN THE YORUBAS AND NORTHERNERS.

TODAY IGBOS RUN THE MOST PROFITABLE BUSINESSES IN NIGERIA INCLUDING THE AIRLINE BUSINESS. GO FIGURE!! TODAY, THEY ARE CLAIMING THE DOWNFALL OF THEIR NIGERIA AIRWAYS, BUT WILL NEVER TELL YOU WHO MANAGED IT AND EMBEZZLED ALL ITS MONEY.

SweetiliciousD:


All thanks to the blind leaders for that blunder.

Correct construct is for the well groomed!

Waiver: Air Peace Saves N13bn On 13 New Aircraft

Air Peace said it has saved N13 billion on its 13 new aircraft due to the duty waiver granted by the federal government.

The Chairman of Air Peace, Mr Allen Onyema, hailed the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration for granting airline operators waiver on importation of aircraft, as well as removing Value Added Tax (VAT) from air tickets.


He said with the decision the airline had saved N985m each from the 13 brand new aircraft, E195-E2, it ordered from Embraer, revealing that three of the aircraft had arrived while the remaining 10 were being expected.

Speaking with Daily Trust shortly after Air Peace sealed a N1.2bn deal with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Mr Onyema said the waiver which was granted to indigenous airlines had greatly helped the carrier.


“The brand new planes Air Peace imported, each one of them, if we are to pay duty, it would be about 985m per aircraft. Now I am bringing 13 aircraft. So multiply N985m by 13. Let’s say almost a billion that the federal government and President Buhari have saved Air Peace. That’s about N13bn that I would have paid as duty.”


The airline had projected to provide over 8,000 jobs with the 13 aircraft on order. It also has purchase right for 17 of the same aircraft type.

Boeing, Green Africa Airways Announce Landmark Commitment for up to 100 737 MAX aircraft


The commitment represents the largest aircraft deal ever for the African continent
Nigerian value airline selects market-leading 737 MAX to build its flagship fleet
Continent's fleet forecast to more than double over next 20 years


Lagos-based Green Africa Airways today announced a commitment for up to 100 737 MAX 8 aircraft, evenly split into 50 firm aircraft and 50 options, as the airline gears up to begin commercial operations. The total deal carries a list-price of $11.7 billion, the largest aircraft agreement from Africa, and will be reflected on Boeing's Orders and Deliveries website once finalized.

"Today is a historic day for the Nigerian and African aviation industry," said Babawande Afolabi, Founder & CEO, Green Africa Airways. "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. Broadly speaking, this deal is a bold symbol of the dynamism, resilience and soaring entrepreneurial drive of the next generation of Nigerians and Africans."

Green Africa Airways, a value airline based in Lagos, Nigeria aims to offer safe, quality and affordable air travel and be a significant contributor to the economic development of Nigeria and the African continent. The new airline has received its Air Transport License from the Nigerian government and is anchored by a group of senior industry leaders led by Tom Horton, former Chairman and CEO of American Airlines, William Shaw, Founder and former CEO of VivaColombia and Virasb Vahidi, former CCO of American Airlines.

"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," Vahidi said.

The airline initially plans to develop the Nigerian market and then build a strong Pan African network. According to Boeing's 20-year Commercial Market Outlook, airlines in Africa will require 1,190 new airplanes as the continent boosts both intra-continental and intercontinental connectivity over the next couple of decades.

"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 are delighted that Green Africa Airways has selected the 737 MAX to serve this expanding market," said Ihssane Mounir, Senior Vice President of Commercial Sales & Marketing, The Boeing Company. "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."

The 737 MAX is the fastest-selling airplane in Boeing history, accumulating more than 4,800 orders from over 100 customers worldwide. The airplane's superior performance is enabled by the latest technology in the single-aisle market, including advanced CFM International LEAP-1B engines, Advanced Technology winglets, and other airframe enhancements.
