42 private jets land in Lagos airport daily- Punch investigation

No fewer than 42 private jets land at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos daily, findings by our correspondent have revealed.

A statement obtained by our correspondent from Nigeria's first commercial private jet hangar, Evergreen Apple Nigeria, on Friday indicated that it received 15 private jet fights everyday.

But further findings on Friday from two aviation agencies, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria and Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority showed that a total of 1,200 private jet flights landed at the Lagos airport every month.

And by implication, it means at least 300 of the flights are recorded every week and 42 every day.

Of the 1,200 private flight jets, it was learnt that 450 arrived at Evergreen Apple hanger, while the remaining 750 jets landed at Execujets hangar and other private hangars at the Lagos airport.

Private aircraft movements have been on the rise in Nigeria lately due to the increase in ownership of luxury planes.

Other airports where there is a boom in private jet flights are Abuja, Kano and Kaduna.

Evergreen, which recently stated that it was monitoring the upward trends in the aviation business, said its daily private jet movements were running to an average of 15 flights.

The firm said its "business aviation movements have increased by over 100 per cent year-on-year, and daily movements are running at an average of 15 daily."

According to the firm, flights are arriving into the FBO predominantly from Europe with London, Ireland, Germany, Spain, France and Austria, all featuring as regular starting points as they bring business executives into Nigeria.

It said, "Flight arrivals from the Middle East are also growing with Dubai, Saudi Arabia and Aman rating highest in terms of originating destinations.

"Within the continent of Africa, the movements mirror comments operators and charter brokers are making in terms of most active destinations. National flights within Nigeria and from further afield including Gambia, Cameroon, Ghana and Equatorial Guinea all reflect the increase in African business aviation activity driven by the continent's continued expansion of energy, mineral, agricultural and telecom sectors."

The statement quoted the Chief Executive Officer of Evergreen, Mr. Segun Demuren, as saying, "Owing to the size of the continent, the mid to heavy jets are proving most popular at the EAN Hangar Jet Centre. Gulfstream 400/450 models, the Bombardier Global Express family and the full range of the Bombardier Challenger types from 601s to 850s are regularly parking up at the hangar.

"The range of the aircraft enables business executives and government officials travelling around Africa and further afield to the Middle East and Europe to travel in the most convenient and efficient way."

It was learnt that charter operators provided the main body of traffic through the airport but increasingly, privately owned aircraft belonging to local entrepreneurs were also contributing to the movement figures.

In addition, the increased movements had led to a greater demand for premium services, Evergreen said.

Biodun Caston Dada:Kim puts a hole in Darey's concert

And Kim Kardashian Puts A Hole In Darey's "Love... Like A Movie" Concert

I was finding it so difficult to do this review based on two facts. One,
that people may take it as a misrepresentation and may decided to castigate
Darey for even thinking of inviting Kim Kardashian to "co-host" his highly
successful theatrical Valentines concert tagged "Love... Like A Movie".
Secondly, for the fear of it going viral online, thereby putting a dent in
Darey's blossoming career.
  I sparsely go to Nigerian events lately due to
the simple fact that I hardly enjoyed it because of too many ills that
could have been avoided especially when it comes to been timely and
technical hitches which used to mar the events, but I decided to attend
Darey's Vals concert based on the facts that I owe him one (he voluntarily
hosted my first BlackBerry Fever Party for Free) and based on the hype and
publicity build up that was excellently done before the event which
generated enough interest and also because of the side-attractions of the
circus ringers that were announced will be part of the show.
 
What took the hype and publicity to a frenzy height was the announcement of Kim
Kardashian, the top American reality show star to "co-host" the concert.
Been a big fan (no apologies, lol), it was a perfect opportunity to see
this beautiful reality show stunner which I know many of her Nigerian fans
were also hoping to use to see the petite celeb.

  This was what turned out
to be the biggest mistake the show organisers made. I felt so disappointed
that Kim Kardashian announcement to "co-host" the event didn't become a
reality after-all, she only graced the stage for less than a minute and the
sad (or good) part was that her appearance wasn't even felt because from
the opening of the show which started few minutes after 8pm till like 10pm
Darey mesmerised us, his fans and guests alike with his stage artistry and
sonorous voice, churning out various hits upon hits both from his own songs
and international classic love songs.

Darey also find solace and support in his fellow Nigerian artistes like
2face, Waje, Timi Dakolo, Praize, etc who gave good accounts of themselves
by jamming to live band throughout the show. Kudos also to Circque du
Soleil an extreme theatre company for their spectacular choreography and
displays. The show was so well choreographed. The stage, lighting and sound
was simply out of this world. The circus ringers sure added colours and fun
to the concert with their gymnastics and acrobatic moves. I doubted if I've
seen anything like this in recent times.
  For that 2 and half hours, Darey
held us spellbound! Did we miss Kim Kardashian not to have fully been part
of the concert? It's capital NO! What I was expecting from the organisers
was for Kim to have signed autographs for her fans, take pictures with
people on the Red Carpet and be in charge of the stage and not just to have
eaten dinner with the Platinum Ticket holders and taken pictures with few
selected celebrities.
   She would have even visited and donated to a charity
home since it's even a season of love and that in itself would have boosted
her image. Even considering the staggering $500k been rumoured she
collected for the show which to me is false and outrageous (that's another
story entirely, so watch out for my piece "Don't Believe The Hype" on
that).

I think it's high time our Nigerian artistes learn from issues like these
and have confidence in themselves to stage a good show. No harm in inviting
foreign act(s) that you know will add values to your event. Darey's concert
is a case study on how a show should be organized. It was a 5 hour of
cheerful bliss. From publicity, organisation, technicalities, timing and
stage craft. With "Love... Like A Movie" concert, Darey scored A and had
taken concerts packaging to the next level. In all, it was an amazing show
that worth every penny spent on its ticket. Lol!
