Nigeria's presidential fleet, consisting of 10 aircraft, incurs an annual maintenance cost of approximately $22,147,873.
At present, the fleet comprises a 19-year-old Boeing Business Jet with registration number 5N-FGT, one Gulfstream 550 with registration number 5N-FGW, one Gulfstream V with registration number 5N-FGS, two Falcon 7X with registration numbers 5N-FGV and 5N-FGU, one Bombardier Challenger 605 with registration number 5N-FGZ, two AgustaWestland 189 with registration numbers 5N-FG1 and 5N-FG2, and two AgustaWestland 139 with registration numbers NAF540 and NAF541.
Another aircraft engineer, Peter Duniya, explained to Daily Sun that the maintenance of an aircraft includes fuel costs, engine maintenance, crew expenses, airframe maintenance and other miscellaneous expenses. “It is what the President usually flies with internationally. Whether he likes it or not, it must be maintained because it is the priority aircraft and not an aircraft that you park. When he wants to fly within Nigeria, he can use the Gulfstream, which is what he usually uses when he comes to Lagos. I think the Vice President usually uses the Falcon 7X.
