Start-up Green Africa from Nigeria has taken delivery of its first aircraft, an ATR72-600s. ZS-XZD (1047) arrived at Lagos on 23 April and is due to become 5N-GAE shortly. Two more will join the fleet soon, 5N-GAA (1057) and 5N-GAD (1076), which are both ready for delivery at Johannesburg-O.R. Tambo International.
The airline hopes to receive its AOC soon and is planning to have fifteen aircraft in the fleet by 2022. It will fly domestic and international destinations out of Lagos but also plans to establish two or three more bases in Nigeria later on.
In February last year, Airbus and Green Africa signed a Memorandum of Understanding for 50 A220-300s, which the airline plans to use eventually and will replace the turboprops in the fleet. Both companies are, however, still negotiating on finalising the deal.
