In a bold and ambitious move, the owner of Air Peace Airline, Dr. Allen Onyema, has revealed plans to significantly expand the airline’s operations with the acquisition of 33 brand new aircraft. The announcement comes as the London flight route operated by Air Peace is reported to be sold out until September.
Dr. Onyema stated, “Our London flight is sold out till September, we are bringing in 33 brand new aircraft and set to hit Lagos-New York and Texas before December.” This move signals a major expansion for the Nigerian airline, with plans to introduce new routes to Lagos-New York and Texas in the near future.
It is understood that Air Peace currently operates with three Boeing 777 aircraft for its London route, leading to speculation that the 33 new aircraft may also be Boeing 777 models. Each Boeing 777 aircraft comes with a price tag of over $400 million, leading to a total estimated cost of well over $13 billion for the 33 new aircraft order.
In local currency, the cost translates to over N1.5 trillion, emphasizing the significant financial commitment and investment being made by Dr. Allen Onyema towards the growth and expansion of Air Peace Airline. The move showcases the airline’s determination to expand its operations and reach new international destinations in the coming months.
With this major aircraft order, Air Peace is poised to make a significant impact in the aviation industry, providing more travel options and connections for passengers both within Nigeria and on international routes. The announcement has generated excitement and anticipation within the aviation sector, as the airline prepares for a new chapter of growth and development under the leadership of Dr. Allen Onyema.
