Air Peace, Nigeria and West Africa largest airline, has returned with direct flights to service the popular Lagos-Dubai passenger travel route. It operated the first flight with one of its Boeing 777 5N-BUU, on Tuesday, March 1, 2022.
The airline’s management, in a statement, said that United Arab Emirates is not a new terrain for Air Peace, as it commenced scheduled operations into the country via Sharjah Airport in July, 2019, adding that the airline is glad that it can now operate three weekly direct flights into the city of Dubai.
Air Peace noted that UAE and Nigeria have a long-standing relationship and is delighted to be serving as one of the veritable means of oiling this amity, especially solidifying the economic ties between the two countries through air travel.
“Our commitment to excellence and determination to reduce the air travel burden of Africans, will continue to drive our route expansion and fleet modernisation. It is this same excellence that we’re replicating in this service. Air Peace has recorded a lot of landmark strides in just seven years of operation. We now service twenty domestic routes, 6 regional routes, and two international destinations, including Johannesburg, which we launched in December 2020.
“We also have other international routes in the works, such as Houston-USA, Mumbai-India, Guangzhou-China and London. We’re constantly reviewing our route network in line with the needs of the flying public,” the airline said.
