He said the acquisition of three additional aircraft was part of the ongoing efforts by the Federal Government to re-equip and professionalize the air force. “We’re expecting three Special Mission Aircraft that’ll be based in Benin, Edo, but will be operating into Port Harcourt, among other areas in the maritime environment. “So, for this to happen, we decided to provide accommodation for those that would maintain the aircrafts when they are deployed. “The idea is to work ahead so that at the time the aircraft are here, personnel should be able to come in and then maintain the aircraft,” he said.
