Presidency Acquires New Airbus A330 For Presidential Travel

The Presidency has confirmed the acquisition of a new Airbus A330 to replace the 19-year-old Boeing B737-700 (BBJ). The previous jet, which had been used for presidential travel, was originally acquired during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The confirmation came from Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, who made the announcement via a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday.

In his post, Onanuga revealed that President Tinubu departed Abuja for Paris, France, on Monday aboard the newly acquired aircraft, which was purchased at a price significantly below its market value.

The new jet is anticipated to save Nigeria millions of dollars annually in both maintenance and fuel costs, providing a more sustainable and economical option for presidential travel.
