Med-View Airline has taken delivery of its Boeing 737-500 aircraft after undergoing a comprehensive check in Estonia.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the aircraft was received by the airline’s Managing Director, Alhaji Muneer Bankole, on arrival at the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal two (MMA2) in Lagos on Sunday.
NAN reports that the arrival of the aircraft brings the number of airplanes on the airline’s fleet to six, while the new aircraft was immediately deployed for its Accra operations.
We changed dollars at N370, that is very sad. It is very painful. We had to source for it from different local areas, both foreign partners and friends and that is the game,’’ he added.
Bankole, however, commended the efforts made by the Minister of State for Aviation, Sen. Hadi Sirika, to address the challenges confronting the local carriers.
According to him, local airlines are a driving force for the economy and should be adequately supported by the Federal Government. (NAN)
