At the 2021 Brazil-Nigeria Aviation and Defence Trade Forum 2021 organised by the Brazillian Embassy in Abuja recently, Guerra de Araujo commended the leadership of Onyema, and the entire management team for their efforts in taking the airline to the great heights it has attained within seven years.
“Air Peace has made remarkable achievements, investing in brand new airplanes and should be proud of itself for becoming a leader in Nigeria’s aviation,” the diplomat said.
