NigeriaEthiopian Airlines deploys three B737-8s to revamp Nigeria Air.
Ethiopian Airlines remains optimistic about finalising Nigeria Air (NWB, Lagos) project for which it has already acquired three B737-8s – which in the meantime will be deployed by the mainline as well as its affiliate carriers ASKY Airlines in Togo, Malawi Airlines, and Zambia Airways.
- According to the Chief Commercial Officer Lemma Yadecha Gudeta “We even went to the level of acquiring three Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. We have already paid and entered into a contract; there is no option than for us to take those aeroplanes. We are going to use the planes here in Ethiopia, and we have partners in Africa; a very successful one in Togo in ASKY Airlines, and we have other ones in Zambia and Malawi.” He added that the three -8s designated for Nigeria Air had arrived in Ethiopia in early March.
- According to the ch-aviation PRO airlines module, Ethiopian Airlines’ current B737-8 fleet numbers 17 aircraft, with 34 more to be delivered.
