The first set of dry-lease aircraft to Nigeria after exiting the Aviation Working Group (AWG) watchlist in October 2024 is set to arrive on October 6, 2025.
Nigeria has exited the Aviation Working Group (AWG) watchlist after achieving a 75.5% compliance score on the Cape Town Convention (CTC) Compliance Index.
The Aviation Working Group has raised Nigeria’s Cape Town Convention compliance index from 49 to 70.5, following the issuance of the Federal High Court (Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol) Practice Direction, 2024, on September 12.
Nigeria’s aviation sector made a significant shift with the issuance of new Federal High Court Practice Directions, ensuring compliance with the Cape Town Convention and opening up access to dry-leasing for domestic airlines.
The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, along with CEOs of major Nigerian airlines, has traveled to the United States for a week-long series of discussions aimed at introducing new and used Boeing aircraft into the Nigerian aviation market.
