The federal government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with an aircraft manufacturer, Boeing to boost the nation’s aviation sector.

Disclosing this in a statement on Thursday, Tunde Moshood, the Special Assistant on Media and Communications to Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, said the move would facilitate the acquisition of aircraft.

Moshood also stated that it would catalyse improvements in Nigeria’s aviation infrastructure and operational standards.

The statement reads: “The signing ceremony took place yesterday in Seattle, Washington, USA, in the presence of key Nigerian aviation stakeholders, including executives from major Nigerian airlines, top management team of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, and representatives from the Airline Operators of Nigeria, AON.

“The MoU was signed by the Minister and Anbessie Yitbarek, Boeing’s Vice President of Commercial Sales and Marketing for Africa, and marks a significant step forward in enhancing the operational efficiency and safety of Nigerian airlines while positioning them for growth in the global aviation market.

“The key highlights of the MoU include facilitation of aircraft acquisition: Boeing will leverage its extensive network of financiers and lessors to help Nigerian airlines acquire newer generation Boeing aircraft, thus modernizing their fleets.

“Enhanced Technical Support: Boeing will provide enhanced technical support to assist airlines in the introduction of new or used Boeing aircraft, ensuring smooth integration into existing operations.
