Tinubu the Iragbiji lost son deserves this honour. He has peddled enough drug,stolen too much of our common wealth and empowered too many urchins. At least, we should give him this water salute treatment for his magnanimity : |

The water salute is a touching airport tradition to honor military veterans, foreign dignitaries and new airline service. Salutes typically involve two firefighting rigs spraying arcs of water over an arriving or departing flight. It is a sign of respect, honour, and gratitude 1 Like |

First of all is to wash the aircraft just as you take ur vehicle to a car wash. Secondly, wen an airway operating company purchase a new aircraft, they wash it just as the normal practice of Nigerians telling you we go wash am ooo wen you buy a new item |

Antoeni: It isnโt sprayed on only international flights; it is a water salute done for ceremonial purposes. Can be for a retirement of a senior pilot , the first or last flight of an aircraft or airline into an airportโฆ |

I work in the Airport. In civil Aviation,this is like a conventional way of welcoming an aircraft that lands in an airport for the first time or a new aircraft touching down in an airport. It is called WATER SALUTE like others have mentioned and this is performed by Air Rescue and Fire Fighting Department of the Airport. That water is not an ordinary water . It is mixed with form used for fighting aircraft fire. |

It is called the water Salute for admonishing accomplishments in aviation. It can be used to celebrate a Pilot retiring after long years of flying, A new aircraft just landing in an airport and also typical to us when a new airport is receiving its first flight in that airport. It is not a disinfectant, you cannot use an aviation firefighting truck to disinfect it. It is not acceptable. |

Newly arrived flights from a long distance journey are always watered. It's to avoid metal fatigue due to intense heat expecially hot zones with temperature ๐ก๏ธ rising above 40 0c. |
