The Chairman of United Nigeria Airlines and Spokesperson for the Airline Operators of Nigeria, Professor Obiora Okonkwo, OFR, FNIPR, delivered a heartfelt vote of thanks during the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing ceremony between Boeing and the Nigerian aviation industry in Seattle, Washington, USA.
The delegation was led by the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Olorogun Festus Keyamo, SAN.

– Access to Boeing’s data for optimizing maintenance practices.
– Collaboration on enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
– Joint initiatives with regulatory bodies to strengthen safety oversight in the region.
– Consultation from Boeing experts on airport capabilities and the development of Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facilities.
