Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Green Africa, Babawande Afolabi, has confirmed that the Airline is set for its demonstration Flight. He also said they are crafting a network plan that will allow more customers to pursue their economic interest or simply spend more time with family and friends.
According to him, this comes as part of efforts to facilitate increased economic and trade activities within Nigeria. Green Africa will offer new direct connections from the commercial hub of Lagos (LOS) into Akure, Ilorin, Abuja, Enugu, Owerri and Port Harcourt.
“This is a great day for all of us at Green Africa and the beginning of what we all hope is a new era in Nigerian aviation. ACIA Aero Leasing has been a very supportive partner and we are proud of this new relationship.
The arrival of our first aircraft is a precursor to the completion of our AOC process and very soon, customers from across Nigeria will be able to make bookings on our website and take their first flight with Green Africa.”
The carrier recently took delivery of its first ATR 72 -600 aircraft as part preparations for the issuance of its Air Operators’ Certificate (AOC) by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
Senior Manager, Marketing and Communications of the Lagos-based value carrier, Oyinade Osobajo, said the airplane was the first of three leased from ACIA Aero Leasing.
She said the airline recently unveiled the livery of two aircraft (5N-GAE and 5N-GAA) while the third (5N-GAD) was also now wrapped in the Green Africa livery in preparation for final lap of the AOC process.
The first aircraft was received by the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the carrier: Babawande Afolabi, president and chief operating officer – Neil Mills and anchor institutional investor – Kuramo Capital.
