Boeing, the renowned American aircraft manufacturer, has reached out to Nigeria's Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, regarding its initiatives to facilitate access to leased aircraft for Nigerian airlines.
In a letter titled "Invitation Letter to Dublin, Ireland for the Airline Economics Conference, January 12," signed by Moore Ibekwe, the Commercial Sales Director for Africa, Boeing detailed its ongoing efforts to expedite aircraft leasing and financing solutions tailored for Nigerian carriers.
This initiative aims to bolster the local aviation industry by enhancing access to essential aviation resources.
“Following your visit to our facilities in the United States, the press coverage about Nigerian Aviation has been remarkably positive like never before seen, therefore we need to capitalize on the positive momentum in the spirit of the MoU.
“During your visit, one of the follow-up items was to organize a forum during the Airline Economics whereby we can leverage our relationships with leasing companies’ leadership for you to meet them and update them personally on the strides that the Federal Government of Nigeria is undertaking to improve the aviation industry. As we all agreed, in the presence of our Senior Vice President of Sales, it will be best if they heard from you firsthand,” Ibekwe told Keyamo in the letter.
