The National Airline of Nigeria, Air Peace as of yesterday began offering direct flights from Lagos to Guangzuo, China.
The airline has stated that similar international operations will start between Israel and Mumbai, India.
The Federal Government gave the airline access to a variety of routes before the COVID-19 epidemic broke out, including the Asian lines.
The spokesperson for Air Peace Stanley Olisa claimed that the driving force behind the new operations was the Air lines mission to see to the growth of global socio economic linkages and providing easy movement for Nigerians to other part of the world.
The Guangzhuo operations according to Mr Olisa woukd be a once weekly flight with plans to increase frequency as business picks up.
“Air Peace has a steadfast commitment to easing the burden of air travel for Africans, and we will keep expanding our route network and strategically modernizing our fleet.
Air Peace today has a network of 20 domestic routes, seven regional routes, and two foreign destinations, including Johannesburg and Dubai, which we launched in 2019 and 2020, respectively. In just seven years of operation, Olisa stated, “Air Peace has accomplished so much.”
He stated that in the past, Air Peace had traveled to India and China and has run a number of special/evacuation flights into Guangzhuo and Mumbai so they are highly accustomed to the Air space. He also hinted that there are plans to lunch in Tel Aviv, Israel.
The airline also has two other African destinations in the works: Malabo in Equatorial Guinea and Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Olisa reaffirmed the airline’s resolve to keep strengthening its strategic network connections in accordance with its no-city-left-behind mantra.
