As part of becoming a household name in the aviation industry, Air Peace has added a Boeing 737-800NG aircraft to help sustaining expansion in its domestic and regional operations.
This is coming after the airline was awarded company of the year at the 2019 Business Hallmark People of the Year Awards, organised by the Hallmark Newspaper Group.
According to a Corporate Communications Executive of the airline, Mr Stanley Olisa, “the new arrival is a 160-seater aircraft comprising 16 business class seats and 144 economy class seats. We are very glad to announce the acquisition of another aircraft, which is a 160-seater B737-800 New Generation aircraft.”
He reiterated the resolve of the airline to spread its operations across the length and breadth of Nigeria, to ease the burden of travel within the country and the West African sub-region.
Air Peace, West and Central Africa’s largest airline, had last year become the first airline in sub-Saharan Africa to place a firm order for 10 B737 Max just as the airline earlier this year made an order for 20 brand new 124-seater E195-E2 jets from Embraer thereby making history as the launch customer of this new aircraft in the entire Africa.
