Sudan: Max Air to evacuate 560 Nigerians from Egypt

The Max Air said on Thursday one of its planes would be deployed to Egypt to evacuate 560 Nigerians in that country.

Many Nigerians are currently in Egypt after they fled war-torn Sudan.

The first batch of 270 Nigerians living in Sudan arrived in the country on Wednesday night.

In a statement posted on its official Instagram page, the airline said its Boeing 747-400 plane would be in the North African country for the evacuation exercise.

The statement read: “We are pleased to announce that Max Air, would be sending our Boeing 747-400 aircraft to evacuate 560 Nigerians who fled from the crisis-stricken Sudan and are now in Egypt.

“As a Nigerian airline, we must do all that we can to help our fellow citizens in times of crisis.
