Nigerians have commended Air Peace for its successful inaugural flight from Lagos to London on Saturday, March 30, 2024, with a high figure of 260 passengers, marking the resumption of flight service since 2019 by an indigenous carrier to one of the most lucrative routes from the country.

Many of the passengers on the Air Peace flight to London said the flight was long awaited and it signaled a new dawn in the travel industry in Nigeria, adding that Air Peace is a Nigerian project and Nigerians should be commended for making this possible. He said the commencement of direct Lagos-London route by Air Peace would ease the pressure on naira, while the demand for foreign exchange by Nigerians and foreign airlines would reduce.

It is a symbol of our collective effort to showcase our capabilities to the world. From the skilled hands that maintain the aircraft to the warm smiles of the cabin crew, every aspect of Air Peace reflects the spirit of our nation.“Let us reflect on the economic impact of this flight.

Similarly, Capt. Chris Najomo, the Ag. Director-General, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority , insisted that for indigenous airlines to succeed on any international routes, it was necessary for the government to adopt the Fly Nigeria Act for public officials.
