Binani Air Approves Strategic Partnership with Ekocity Media to Launch Official Inflight Magazine

Lagos, Nigeria | June 26, 2026

Ekocity Media Company Limited has reached a significant milestone following the formal acceptance of its strategic partnership proposal by Binani Air, paving the way for the launch of the Ekocity Binani Inflight Magazine—a premium publication designed to enrich the travel experience of passengers while promoting tourism, investment, business, culture, and innovation across Nigeria.

The partnership was officially confirmed in a letter dated 24 June 2026, signed by Arit Effanga, Head of Corporate Communications, Binani Air. In the letter, the airline expressed its satisfaction after reviewing Ekocity’s proposal and confirmed its decision to proceed with the collaboration.

According to the correspondence, Binani Air stated that it looked forward to a “mutually beneficial partnership and successful working relationship” and requested the necessary documentation and implementation framework to commence execution of the project.

The collaboration establishes Ekocity Media as the official publishing partner responsible for the editorial direction, content development, magazine design, layout, and digital publication of the Ekocity Binani Inflight Magazine. Binani Air will oversee the printing and onboard distribution of the publication across its domestic flight network, ensuring passengers enjoy premium-quality editorial content during their journeys.

The inflight magazine will serve as a dynamic platform showcasing Nigeria’s tourism destinations, business and investment opportunities, aviation developments, hospitality, lifestyle, technology, culture, entertainment, and government initiatives. It will also provide businesses with a high-value advertising platform that reaches a targeted audience of travelers, corporate executives, investors, and decision-makers.

Speaking on the development, Abiodun Fawumi, Publisher and Chief Executive Officer of Ekocity Media Company Limited, described the partnership as a defining moment in the company’s growth.

“This partnership represents more than the launch of an inflight magazine. It is the beginning of a long-term collaboration aimed at connecting people, promoting destinations, supporting businesses, and showcasing the best of Nigeria through quality storytelling and world-class publishing.”

The partnership is underpinned by a Memorandum of Agreement that defines the roles and responsibilities of both organizations and demonstrates a shared commitment to professionalism, innovation, and excellence in customer experience.

Industry observers believe the collaboration has the potential to redefine inflight publishing in Nigeria by creating an integrated communication platform that benefits airlines, passengers, advertisers, tourism operators, government agencies, and the wider business community.

As preparations begin for the inaugural edition, both Ekocity Media and Binani Air have reaffirmed their commitment to delivering a publication that reflects the highest standards of editorial quality and strengthens Nigeria’s aviation and tourism ecosystem.

The forthcoming Ekocity Binani Inflight Magazine is expected to become a trusted voice for travelers, offering engaging content while positioning Nigeria as a premier destination for investment, tourism, commerce, and cultural exchange.
