promise made by Air Peace to end the nightmare of Nigerian air travellers especially those in areas where airports are  underutilised, is fast gradually coming  to reality as the airline received on Friday the second  of six 50-seater new generation Embraer 145 jets it recently acquired.

It would be recalled that the airline on receiving the first of the aircraft on January 31, 2017,  immediately set up a subsidiary, Air Peace Hopper to manage its plan to connect routes other airlines in the country shy away from.
The new aircraft which arrived from the United States touched down at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos at about 7.10 p.m. on Friday. It arrived as the carrier was finalising arrangements for the launch of its flights to Kano and Yola on February 12 and 15 respectively as well as Freetown, Banjul and Dakar on February 19.                                                                                             A statement issued on Sunday by the Corporate Communications Manager of Air Peace, Mr. Chris Iwarah said the arrival of the new aircraft marked 5N-BVD and named Chinonye Ezeani (Nee Onyema) was another proof that the airline was serious about its pledge to transform air travel in Nigeria, West Coast of Africa and beyond.                                                                                              “The arrival of Chinonye Ezeani (Nee Onyema),” Air Peace said, “has proved beyond doubt that we are indeed serious about our pledge to end the travel nightmares of the unserved and or underserved cities of Nigeria. It is our vision to democratise air travel in Nigeria. We are driven by the passion and belief that no one or city should be left behind.                                                                                    “As soon as we secure the approval of the regulatory authorities, we will start flight operations with our Embraer 145 jets. We will operate into the Nigeria Air Force (NAF) Base in Port Harcourt and connect routes such as Enugu-Kano-Enugu, Benin-Port-Harcourt-Benin, Port-Harcourt-Kano-Port-Harcourt, Lagos-Warri-Port-Harcourt-Warri-Lagos, Lagos-Warri-Abuja-Warri, Lagos-Kaduna-Lagos, Lagos-Sokoto-Lagos, Abuja-Sokoto-Abuja, Abuja-Bauchi-Abuja, Lagos- Markurdi-Lagos, Lagos-Jos-Lagos, among others.
