Tinubu the Iragbiji lost son deserves this honour. He has peddled enough drug,stolen too much of our common wealth and empowered too many urchins. At least, we should give him this water salute treatment for his magnanimity grin grin : grin

The water salute is a touching airport tradition to honor military veterans, foreign dignitaries and new airline service. Salutes typically involve two firefighting rigs spraying arcs of water over an arriving or departing flight. It is a sign of respect, honour, and gratitude

First of all is to wash the aircraft just as you take ur vehicle to a car wash.

Secondly, wen an airway operating company purchase a new aircraft, they wash it just as the normal practice of Nigerians telling you we go wash am ooo wen you buy a new item

It is not ordinary water, it is disinfectants to prevent micro organisms from other countries the plane might have been through.
This prevent non native organisms from spreading in the country

Am Tired of Pretending, Please Why Do They Pour Water On international Flights On Arrival?

It isnโ€™t sprayed on only international flights; it is a water salute done for ceremonial purposes. Can be for a retirement of a senior pilot , the first or last flight of an aircraft or airline into an airportโ€ฆ

I work in the Airport. In civil Aviation,this is like a conventional way of welcoming an aircraft that lands in an airport for the first time or a new aircraft touching down in an airport. It is called WATER SALUTE like others have mentioned and this is performed by Air Rescue and Fire Fighting Department of the Airport. That water is not an ordinary water . It is mixed with form used for fighting aircraft fire.

You are right but it might not make FP for at least some days to come. If it were to be "see the catfish I bought for #50 and how I ate it" with just two or three post you will see it on the FP....

That's what you get from Mods who are kids and went to public PUBLIC skools

It is called the water Salute for admonishing accomplishments in aviation. It can be used to celebrate a Pilot retiring after long years of flying, A new aircraft just landing in an airport and also typical to us when a new airport is receiving its first flight in that airport. It is not a disinfectant, you cannot use an aviation firefighting truck to disinfect it. It is not acceptable.

Newly arrived flights from a long distance journey are always watered. It's to avoid metal fatigue due to intense heat expecially hot zones with temperature ๐ŸŒก๏ธ rising above 40 0c.
