Air Peace Set To Launch Operations To London, Houston, Dubai,china, Mumbai by Kingspin(m): 4:06am On Aug 26, 2018 |
Nigeria’s leading carrier, Air Peace on Saturday took delivery of its second Boeing 777 aircraft. In a related development, the airline, which made history as the first Nigerian carrier to acquire and take delivery of a Boeing 777-200 on February 23, 2018, assured that it would soon announce dates for the launch of its long-haul operations to London, Houston, Dubai, Sharjah, Guangzhou-China, Mumbai and Johannesburg. Air Peace second Boeing 777 receiving the water salute moments after landing at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos on Saturday The new aircraft, a 320-seater Boeing 777-300 named “Ojochide” and marked 5N-BUU, was flown into the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos by Air Peace Chief Pilot, Capt. Victor Egonu and Senior First Officer Emmanuel Iwhiwhu. It touched down to a rousing welcome by staff of the carrier, aviation workers and water salute staged by men of the Fire Service of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) at about 1.36 p.m. Speaking moments after the aircraft landed, Air Peace Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Allen Onyema assured that the airline was now ready to begin its international operations and fix the challenges of Nigerians, Africans and other travellers on the long-haul routes. Onyema, who was represented by Air Peace Chief Operating Officer, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Olajide, said the carrier’s international operations would boost Nigeria’s economy, create more jobs in the nation’s aviation and allied sectors and offer travellers an exceptional choice. “We are very happy we’ve taken delivery of another of our Boeing 777 aircraft in preparation for our international operations and we are looking at commencing operations on one of the routes before the last quarter of the year. “We believe that this will enable us create more employment opportunities for Nigerians because that is the reason we exist. We want to help curb the unemployment situation in the country,” Onyema said. The Air Peace boss confirmed that the airline received its first Boeing 777-200 aircraft in February, adding that two more of the aircraft type were being expected before the end of the year to boost the airline’s international operations. Onyema said the Federal Government had designated Air Peace to operate flights to London, Houston, Dubai, Sharjah, Guangzhou-China, Mumbai and Johannesburg. He commended the Minister of State for Aviation, Sen. Hadi Sirika and President Muhammadu Buhari for supporting Nigerian airlines with the removal of value added tax and granting of waivers on aircraft spares. Also speaking, Air Peace Chief Pilot, Capt. Victor Egonu and Senior First Officer Emmanuel Iwhiwhu, who flew in the aircraft, said it was a state-of-the-art equipment with high performance capacity. The B777-300 aircraft has 12 first class, 48 business class and 260 economy class seats.

In other news, air peace has been trying to make Enugu airport its hub and maintenance terminal but federal government has refused to move Nigerian Army from the land needed for the expansion. Even though Enugu Government has appealed to them and even give them another land 2 times the size of where they occupy. This is just one example out of thousands of marginalization and economic sabotage towards Ndigbo. Destiny of a people can be delayed but can never be denied. https://www.google.com/amp/dailypost.ng/2018/05/02/give-us-land-air-peaces-aviation-hub-ugwuanyi-begs-fg/amp/ 92 Likes 8 Shares |

Good news from Air Peace. They are really doing well. However, having lived in Nigeria for most part of my life and knowing our attitude to maintenance and perfectionism, I can NEVER fly any Nigerian airline to far places as US, Asia or even Europe. I am ready to be patriotic and "patronize Nigerian services" in other areas. Abuse me if you like. Na you sabi. 32 Likes 1 Share |

What for? So they can fold up like Nigerian Airways or go bankrupt like Arik? Nigeria isn't ready to have a national aircraft, they either offer mediocre services or go belly up eventually. 1 Like |

christopher123: Sometimes it's better to keep shut about things u know nothing about. Do u know the number of fleets in airpeace? do you know how much each plane cost? do you know where the money came from? where was Barr. Allen prior 2009? how did someone who studied conflict resolution raised those billions? u r calling ND ppl drunkards? do u know who awarded him contracts in multiples of billions? do u know the people that sank their money in the airline? like I said, sometimes it's best to keep shut about things u don't know. 11 Likes |
