In a tweet a few hours later, the Nigerian airline said it got the federal government’s approval to commence evacuation on Tuesday, May 2, 2023.

“Azman Air has received the approval of the federal government to evacuate Nigerians stranded at the Egyptian border amid the Sudan crisis with the 409-seater Airbus A340-600,” the aviation firm tweeted.

“Evacuation is expected to commence from Tuesday 2nd May as we await final clearance from Egypt to depart.”
