Green Africa, Nigeria’s Lagos-based value  airline, has announced the acquisition of its second owned aircraft.

The incoming  aircraft, an ATR 72-600 with manufacturer’s serial number 1064 and registration mark  5N-GAC, will help Green Africa increase capacity on its existing routes across the  country.

The aircraft is expected to enter into service shortly after customary regulatory  approvals. As with the carrier’s first aircraft acquisition, Access Bank, one of the largest  financial institutions on the continent, provided the naira debt facility to partly fund this strategic fleet expansion.

Babawande Afolabi, Founder & CEO of Green Africa, said: “We are delighted to  welcome our second owned aircraft (5N-GAC) to the fleet. The addition of 5N-GAC will  help strengthen a sustainable foundation for Green Africa to grow and deliver on its  promise to provide safe, reliable, and affordable air travel to a broader group of  customers in the country and across the continent at scale.”

Roosevelt Ogbonna, Managing Director / CEO of Access Bank, commented: “At  Access Bank, we are committed to empowering businesses that drive economic  progress and create long-term value for society.

Our partnership with Green Africa  reflects our confidence in visionary enterprises that are transforming critical sectors of  the economy. Following the strong performance of Green Africa’s first aircraft  acquisition, we are proud to extend our support for this second aircraft, which will  further enhance capacity and accelerate growth.

We remain steadfast in our mission  to provide innovative financial solutions that enable businesses to scale, thrive, and  contribute meaningfully to Africa’s development.”
