The aircraft's registration was 5N-MXX.Brief historyMerchant Express Aviation flew around the 1990s. Just like many other cargo airlines from around the world, the company gave the venerable 707 jet another chance to fly for a company. Competition from such European cargo airlines like Cargo Lion, Cargolux and Germany's DHL, combined with the poor economic situation of Nigeria during the time to precipitate the cargo airline company's demise before the 2000s had arrived.Code dataICAO Code: MXXCallsign: '''MERCHANT'''DestinationsFrom Lagos to many European cities.
