At the inspection of the new aircraft, the Team Lead Internal Audit and Control of First Deepwater Discovery Limited, Taiwo Osinloye said it is good to start on a good note. “They are following due process and it is good for future cost implication in all ramification. In the nearest future, I see Discovery Air  rubbing shoulder with the likes of Arik Air, Aero and the rest. The colour of their livery is  attractive and saleable.”-She said.

According to the Sales and Marketing Manager, Davids  Odeyemi “the market is viable and very competitive but with what we have on ground, we will penetrate the market. Also the staff in high spirit with their experiences, they are ready for operations. The choice of colours (yellow, orange and brown) is deliberate because of the uniqueness and simplicity.

The airline will start operations with the popular destinations: Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt but would expand the routes structure as it brings in more aircraft.
