The Two Nigerian men have been celebrated across all social media platforms for making history
The Nigerian pilots identified as Captain Robert Osuhor and Senior First Officer Chijioke Akpu have become the first all-Nigerian cockpit crew on an Emirates aeroplane to fly the renowned international airline’s aircraft from Dubai to a new destination and then back to the UAE.
They were celebrated on LinkedIn by an aviation analyst Chidozie Uzoezie who shared a photo of them.
Chidozie added that one of the history-making men, Akpu, had previously worked with Arik Air and RwandAir.
At his previous places, Akpu had flown Boeing 737 and the Airbus A330 aeroplanes and will now add this new feat to his rich CV.
