Nigerian carrier has resumed operations with its Boeing 747 aircraft after a six-month suspension.
The return of the B747 marks a significant step for the airline as it restores widebody capacity to its network. The aircraft type is typically deployed on high-demand domestic and international routes, offering increased passenger and cargo capacity.
The six-month gap had temporarily removed the jumbo jet from active service, but its reintroduction signals renewed operational readiness and demand recovery.
The Boeing 747 remains one of the most recognizable widebody aircraft in commercial aviation, though its presence has declined globally as airlines transition to newer-generation models.
MaxAir’s decision to bring the aircraft back into service highlights its strategy to meet market needs while leveraging existing fleet assets.
Further updates on route deployment and scheduling are expected as the airline continues to strengthen its operations.
