Air Peace on Wednesday took delivery of its third Boeing 777 aircraft. The airline had earlier taken delivery of its first Boeing 777 aircraft on February 23, 2018, making history as the first Nigerian carrier to acquire and register the type of aircraft in the country.
The airline’s latest bird of steel touched down at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos at about 3:20pm on Wednesday. It was honoured with a spectacular water salute staged by men of the Fire Service Department of the Federal Airports of Authority of Nigeria with a crowd of the carrier’s management and staff as well as aviation authorities and airline workers cheering ecstatically.
Addressing reporters shortly after the aircraft marked 5N-BWI and named “Anuli Peggy Onyema” landed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, Air Peace chairman/chief executive officer, Mr. Allen Onyema, said the airline had proved beyond doubt that it was the face of the bright future of Nigeria in the global aviation industry.
Onyema insisted that the airline had earned the respect of financial organisations and other critical stakeholders in the global aviation industry, assuring that the entry of the new aircraft would create more jobs for Nigerians and others.
