Air Peace: Taking delivery of more air crafts raises drive to re-launch under-served routes
Leading indigenous carrier, Air Peace Limited, has said the ongoing deliveries of purchased new sets of aircrafts has given the company the needed confidence to re-launch flights services on suspended routes beginning with Sokoto and Katsina airports.
Business Hilights gathered from the Air Peace Corporate Communications Manager, Chris Iwarah that the latest delivery, Embraer 145 aircraft, touched down at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos at about 6.30 p.m. on Sunday.
The new delivery is the fifth Embraer 145 aircraft to land out of the total 10 aircrafts ordered through a financial understanding sealed with Fidelity Bank in Lagos few weeks ago.
Air Peace had earlier received four of the six 50-seater Embraer 145 aircraft.
The company averred that purchase of new set of aircrafts was part of its renewed drive to achieve its goal of unifying Nigeria through air transport and extending its flight operations to unserved and underserved cities.
According to Iwarah, “We have now received a total of five of the six Embaer 145 aircraft we recently acquired as part of our fleet expansion project. We are delighted that with the arrival of the aircraft, we will relaunch our Sokoto operations and start our Katsina service in the next two weeks.
“Air Peace is committed to our no-city-left-behind project under our subsidiary, Air Peace Hopper. We are honoured that our involvement in the aviation industry is fulfilling our goal of uniting Nigeria through air transport, creating thousands of direct and indirect job opportunities and lifting Nigeria’s economy.
Air Peace corporate chief added that “We assure the flying public and Nigeria that we will continue to deliver exceptional flight services and create massive employment opportunities for the people with our domestic, regional and international operations. We our indeed grateful to our valued guests and solicit their continued support as we take greater steps to make our dear nation proud in the global aviation community.”
