Nigeria’s aviation sector has secured an aircraft financing and leasing partnership with Aircraft Finance Germany and Fidelity Bank Plc. The agreement was announced on Friday following the Nigerian Aircraft Acquisition and Investment Summit 2026, held earlier this week.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Tunde Moshood, said the deal is expected to improve access to aircraft acquisition and leasing for Nigerian operators through structured financing solutions.
The summit, an initiative of the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, brought together industry stakeholders to address longstanding challenges in aircraft financing, regulation and infrastructure. Discussions were held across four deal rooms focusing on finance, policy, insurance and infrastructure.
