The plan by the Presidency to sell two of the aircraft in the Presidential Air Fleet has been finalized. The aircraft are Falcon 7x executive jet and Hawker 4000.
A top Presidency source told PUNCH on Monday that the process of selling the aircraft, which was handled by the Office of the National Security Adviser, had been concluded.
He said: “The bids were opened in the presence of all interested parties about two weeks ago. “At the end of the exercise, all those who participated commended the process which they described as very transparent.”
He, however, refused to disclose the identities of the preferred bidders and the amount the Federal Government would realize from the sales. But he assured that the details would be made public soon.
“The report will be made available to the President first. Once he approves it, it will be made public in accordance with the present administration’s policy,” he said.
According to the Presidency, the PAF had 10 aircraft at the inception of this administration.
