United Nigeria Airlines Will Double Its Fleet With Acquisition Of Ex-Southwest Boeing 737-800s

United Nigeria Airlines (UNA) is set to rapidly expand its fleet through the acquisition of six ex-Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-800 jets, with further purchase options for four more aircraft. This move would potentially triple the small carrier’s fleet from just five jets to 15. This agreement, which was brokered by SkyWorks, is a key piece of Elliott Management’s push for Southwest Airlines to sell older Boeing 737-800 jets in favor of streamlining the airline’s fleet.
