Swaziland airline authorities are yet to purchase an aircraft though. Recently, government indicated plans to acquire through outright purchase or lease an airplane. The aircraft that were in consideration were those in the category 90- to 100-seater jets that cost in the region of E700 million. All these developments come in the wake of the completion of the Sikhuphe International Airport, which is part of the Millennium Projects worth E3 billion.
