A Must Read: List of Nigerian Commercial Planes and their Ages

I saw this on Linda Ikeji and just had to share it, I feel this will help us carefully choose which airline to book just to be safe...

The list was gotten from Planespotters.net, a civil aviation database with 200000+ photos and information on 30000+ aircrafts. 

And what you will find after the cut is a comprehensive list of all aircrafts used in Nigeria and their ages. There's actually a 30+ year old plane flying in Nigeria.
