According to him: ” Earlier in the year, we noticed that there were fewer aircraft in the country and less capacity to meet the demand at the time, so we decided to assure our passengers that we will acquire some Boeing 737 aircraft to ensure that they travel at ease without having to worry if they will get flights to certain destinations even at peak periods.

“The arrival of the first of our recently acquired 737 aircraft is a firm confirmation of our resilience, operational efficiency, deep passion, and our commitment to continue flying safe.

“It also underscores our mission which to earn the loyalty and respect of our customers by consistently demonstrating our commitment to service, and providing affordable regional air transport services that focus on innovation, quality and service excellence.

‘With our fleet size likely to hit nine soon, we are ready to give more Boeing 737 rated Nigerian pilots and engineers the opportunity to be gainfully employed. We would also deploy this Boeing 737 to strengthen our existing route network while new routes will be announced soon in line with our careful and methodical route and fleet expansion project.”
