Air Peace Limited at the weekend celebrated its third year anniversary in the Nigerian aviation industry with a pledge to commence its international flight operations with scheduled flight to Dubai, United Arab Emirates and London, United Kingdom before the end of the year.
An anniversary statement signed by the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, Mr. Allen Onyema, attributed the huge success of the airline in the last three years to the unwavering loyalty and support of the flying public and travel agents.
Onyema said the airline had issued over 1,000 free tickets, television sets, fridges and other gift items to some loyal customers and agents to mark its third anniversary.
The carrier commenced scheduled flight operations to five destinations on October 24, 2014, and Onyema said the gifts were part of measures to show gratitude to customers and agents.
“We are quite excited that in just three years we have transformed Nigeria’s aviation sector. We ended the era of avoidable delays when we launched our flight operations to five cities on October 24, 2014 with a record on-time performance reputation,” said Onyema.
“We have not only employed and retained the services of some of the best hands in the aviation industry, we have also ensured a tough regime of uncompromising attention to maintenance of our fleet to guarantee the safety and comfort of our esteemed guests.
“We owe our success to our loyal guests, agents, partners, corps of dedicated staff and, of course, God. We are, however, not resting on our oars. There is still much to be done and we solicit the continued support of our valued guests and partners as we expand our operations in the West Coast of Africa and launch our international flight operations beginning with Dubai, London, Atlanta, Guangzhou-China, Mumbai and Johannesburg.
“While we have acquired two B777 to service our international routes, we would be strengthening our local and regional services with the six ERJ145 and Boeing 737 aircraft we procured to increase our fleet size to 24. We assure of a very exciting flight experience in the days and months ahead,” Onyema added.
