Green Africa Airways, a Nigerian start-up carrier, has
launched its entry into Nigerian aviation sector.
On Tuesday, the airline began sales of tickets for
travellers to reserve a seat on its fleet.
The aviation company had earlier unveiled an initial route
network on which to commence operations.
The network focuses on its Lagos base and comprises six
domestic destinations, including Abuja, Port Harcourt, Akure, Ilorin, Enugu and
Owerri.
The airline noted that operations will be scaled up as it
receives more aircraft in the coming months and over the year.
Although ticket sales has begun, the airline will commence
flight operation to various local destinations from June 24.
A review of the airline’s charges by TheCable shows that
flight fees for Lagos and Abuja and vice-versa for the year is between N16,500
and N23,000.
This is lower when compared to current prices charged by
other airlines operating in the country.
In April, the airline took delivery of two ATR 72-600s
registered 5N-GAA and 5N-GAE.
Both aircraft which were received at Murtala Muhammed
International Airport in Lagos have a capacity of 70 passengers in an
all-economy, 2-2 layout.
Proudly wrapped with progressive green arrows, we present to you the first two Green Africa aircraft.

Green Africa Airways said it aims to increase its fleet of
ATR turboprops to 15 aircraft by the end of next year.
To celebrate its launch, the airline announced a 10 percent
discount for travellers booking on its website.
The airline said its customers, described as “gFlyers” can enjoy any of its three fare classes identified as gSaver, gClassic, and gFlex.
