NGThe Nigerian federal government has reaffirmed its commitment to modernizing the country's aviation sector through partnerships with global aircraft manufacturers. Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, led a delegation to Bombardier's facility in Montreal, Canada, emphasizing efforts to connect Nigerian airlines with leading manufacturers like Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, and Bombardier. The goal is to acquire newer, safer, and more fuel-efficient aircraft, improve safety standards, increase operational efficiency, and position Nigeria as Africa's top aviation hub. The trip included high-ranking officials such as the Director-General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority and representatives from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria. This follows previous engagements with major OEMs and aims to support fleet renewal, financing, technical cooperation, and the overall competitiveness of Nigerian airlines.
