This is a water salute. It is used to mark the retirement of a senior pilot, the first or last flight of an aeroplane to an airport or the first and last flight of a particular aeroplane model 388 Likes 25 Shares |

It's mostly done on maiden flights, especially for airplanes that are newly bought. It's kind of giving an arousing welcoming to the airplane. 85 Likes 7 Shares |

This is salutations to either first flight pilot or last time flight pilot/retirement. I recall the first female airpeace pilot got same treatment in Abuja, again first flight to land in Anambra airport got same water salute. So OP it's not just int'l flight but the above stated reasons. 23 Likes 4 Shares |

The spraying of airplanes as they land is a tradition known as the βwater salute.β As explained by Wikipedia, it's performed for ceremonial purposes, such as the retirement of an airplane. When an airplane makes its final flight, it's honored with the water salute once it lands on the tarmac.4 Jul 2019 13 Likes 4 Shares |
