Aigrette is a low cost carrier based in Casablanca, Morocco. They mainly focus on tourism from other countries, as Morocco has over 10 million people visit each year, but they also have domestic routes. They predominately use Airbus aircraft, such as the A320 and A330, and have ordered the A330neo and A350, along with the A220 series and the A321LR and XLR variants. Their logo and name are based off of the little egret, a bird endemic to Morocco.

Finfinne Air is a privately owned, low cost carrier based out of Ethiopia. Finfinne, which means "Natural Spring" in Oromo, shares it's name with the nickname of the Addis Ababa, where the carrier is based. Their primarily focus is on low cost flights from within Ethiopia throughout North/Central Africa and the Persian Gulf region with the Airbus A220-300, with long term goals of expanding into European and Far Asian markets with longer range aircraft. Finfinne Air representatives have been in negotiations with Airbus over a possible deal on Airbus A321XLRs.

 

The Winged Lion represents the country's nation animal, the Lion, and the country's dedication to excellence in aviation.

Nigerian, known as Nigerian Airways before 1987, is the flag carrier of Nigeria, operating primarily out of Lagos to both domestic and international destinations. Shown here is a 767-300 (non-ER) in the 90s livery, featuring several shades of green and the airline's classic winged horse logo. The aircraft pictured here is EI-WOS, which flew for Air Canadien before being sold to ILFC and leased to Nigerian. Its interior was never updated as it primarily flew domestic Canadian routes prior to its withdrawal from Air Canadien's fleet, so it features forty Business Class recliner seats in a 1-2-1 configuration and 226 Economy Class seats at 32" pitch - generous by today's standards, but considered quite dense at the time of its delivery to Air Canadien in the late 80s (seatmap available at the top of the image below). Despite this very dated Business Class product and a lack of personal entertainment screens in all classes, EI-WOS (and two other ex-Air Canadien 767-300s) are routinely used on flights up to seven hours long, to destinations like London and Dubai.

 

The second aircraft pictured here is EI-FQA, a 767-300ER that flew for several different airlines before making it to Nigerian in 2018, also leased from ILFC. Painted in a new (much more eurowhite, probably dictated by budget constraints) livery, this aircraft also features the interior it was outfitted with after being bought by Republic Airways in 2012. This includes 34 lie-flat, staggered Thompson Vantage Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 configuration (seatmap available at the bottom of the image below). While not the best Business Class in the world, it is still vastly superior to the recliners on Nigerian's older, non-ER 767s. This aircraft is also fitted with 227 Economy seats - one more than on the older ones - but at an even greater 33" pitch! EI-FQA was the first aircraft to be delivered to the airline as part of a government-sponsored modernization effort that saw the last two 737-200s and several 737 Classics leave the fleet, replaced with used 737-800s, as well as the supplementation of existing non-ER 767s with several newer -300ERs. After operating EI-FQA (and its sistership, -FQB) to London and Frankfurt for several months, to the delight of passengers who found themselves in lie-flat seats instead of three-decade-old recliners, Nigerian launched a thrice-weekly route to New York in late 2018. This marked the first time Nigeria's flag carrier had flown to the United States since their original service to New York was ended in 1990.
