You Have Been Warned…before It Is Too Late!!....do Not Fly This Airline. by tplamp26: 12:24am On Jun 07, 2012
Trust Nigerians. They have DE-CODED all the airlines in Nigeria ALREADY!
In Nigeria, it is recommended and expected that airplanes must NOT be older than 20 years to fly!!
We will now take it one step further by giving each airline colour codes for easy identification for Nigerians to patronise or avoid like the plague ACCORDING TO THE AGE OF THEIR AIRCRAFTS.
Any airline that scores GREEN is SAFE to fly. Fly with them only.
ORANGE is RISKY to fly with. You are on your own oh (OYOO)!
RED is A KILLER! DO NOT FLY (DNF) WITH THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!

loool......nice one

buh on a serious note, the problem isn't about the number of years these planes have been in existence but lack of maintenance on the part of the airline operators.
It's good that Nigeria has a blanket age on the planes that can fly their airspace but a country as the US has no age restriction but enforces STRICT and MAXIMUM maintenance schedule, planes that were made in 1987 still flies the US airspace without any probs.....so lets emphasize on maintenance and not the age really..... I hope Arik and Air Nigeria maintains their "new" planes well tho.
