Diamond Platnumz has launched his airline dubbed 'Wasafi Air.' Yesterday, the singer, together with his WCB signees stepped out at a red carpet event in the airport for the launch of his new baby.
The posters on the carpet were written 'Wasafi Air.' The flight attendants will be wearing purple uniforms with neon green scarves as their cabin crew attire.
Zuchu and Rommy Jones are among the celebrities that accompanied Diamond to the event.
Diamond also shared a photo of an airplane and wrote;
'Leo tunasafiri." (Today we are traveling)
In August, Diamond opened up about his plans to launch the airline.
"I got into music, then opened a record label, a TV station, a radio station, a betting company, and now about to open an airline called Wasafi Air," he told Metro FM's 'The Touch Down'
He went on to say that he had also bought a helicopter which is yet to be shipped to his home country, Tanzania.
"I just bought a helicopter. I bought it a few weeks ago but it takes time. I was told after four weeks, it going to be in Tanzania."
Diamond added that his helicopter will be able to fly at night unlike most of them.
"It's part of the airline. The one that I bought is gonna be the first helicopter in East Africa that can fly at night. Most of them can only fly during the day."
According to the Pilot Teacher website, When helicopters need to fly into remote and dark parts of the region pilots lose their visual cues of where the horizon is and this becomes a problem as the pilot will not know which way is up. On moonless nights it can become impossible to see what is ground and what is the sky.
The singer said he bought the helicopter to help people in case of emergencies.
"It is an executive one. It's going to be there in case of emergency. Sometimes, we need to think about others, not only ourselves. People think we buy these things for luxury, but we don't."
