ISLAMABAD, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- Pakistani Chief of Air Staff Marshal Sohail Aman on Monday handed over four Super Mushshak aircraft to Nigerian Air Force, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) said in a statement in Islamabad.
The aircrafts, which are modernized model equipped with glass cockpit and enhanced environmental control system, were handed to Nigeria at a ceremony held in the African country, according to the PAF.
Pakistan and Nigeria signed an agreement for sale of 10 Super Mushshak aircraft to Nigerian Air Force at Abuja last month, the PAF statement said.
The contract also included operational training and technical support and assistance to Nigerian Air Force. The PAF would completely establish this facility in the shortest possible time.
"This contract would not only open new avenues for export of aviation equipment to foreign countries but also help in generating revenue for the country," the statement said.
"The deal further strengthens Pakistan Aeronautical Complex's status as a world class aviation industry producing the supersonic JF-17 Thunder and Super Mushshak trainer aircraft," the PAF said.
