Orubebe01:Spraying water on an international flight after arrival is a tradition known as a water salute or water cannon salute. It is a ceremonial gesture performed by airport fire trucks or rescue vehicles. Here are some reasons why it's done: Tradition and Celebration: Water salutes are often performed to mark a special occasion or celebration. This can include inaugural flights, retirements of veteran pilots, or welcoming dignitaries and important passengers. Honor and Respect: It's a way to show honor and respect to the airline, crew, or passengers on board. It's like a grand welcome or farewell gesture. Symbolic Cleansing: In some cultures, the water salute is seen as a symbol of cleansing and purifying the aircraft, crew, and passengers, welcoming them to a new destination. Photo Opportunity: Water salutes make for great photo opportunities and media coverage, which can be used for marketing and public relations purposes by airlines and airports. Safety Demonstration: It can also serve as a demonstration of the airport's firefighting capabilities, as these vehicles are equipped with powerful water cannons. This can be reassuring for passengers and crew. Overall, water salutes are a symbolic and celebratory tradition that adds a touch of ceremony to international flights and airport events. 16 Likes 5 Shares |

It's called water salute. Either the plane is new or the airport is newly constructed. It's a form of celebration and/or commissioning. Anyways, how would you guys know when all you do with your stupid brains is to watch Nollywood. |
