First video as Nigeria Air touches down in Lagos

The Nigeria Air aircraft scheduled to arrive in the country on Friday, May 26 has arrived on the tarmac of the Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos.

This was confirmed by Channels TV. A video of the aircraft on the tarmac has since made the rounds on social media.

This comes after Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika revealed that a Nigeria Air aircraft is scheduled to land in the country marking a significant milestone in the process of commencing operations.

The minister promised that the aircraft will be unveiled in Nigeria’s colors in fulfillment of all the promises made by the administration in the aviation sector.

He, however, noted that the only incomplete item is the aerotropolis, which is the airport city and is 60 percent complete.

According to him, the groundwork has been completed, and are looking to conclude work on the airport city by the next administration.

Sirika had at an aviation stakeholder’s forum in Abuja in March said that Nigeria Air will commence full operations before the end of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Responding to a question on when exactly Nigeria Air will commence operations, the minister had said, “Before the end of this administration, before May 29th, we will fly.”

He added that the Federal Government is leaving the aviation sector better than it met it having achieved over 90 per cent of the aviation sector road map.
