Nigeria’s leading airline, Air Peace, has received two new Airbus 320 aircraft to support its operations, thereby increasing Airbus in its fleet to ten.

Stanley Olisa, the airline’s spokesperson, announced this in a statement on Friday.

Olisa said the two 162-seater aircraft, with 12 business class seats and 150 economy seats each, arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, on Thursday.

“These two new Airbus aircraft, in addition to the eight we already have, will further help us in strengthening our operations as Yuletide approaches and as we restart Yola, Uyo and Monrovia services and support our new connections as well as increased frequencies on specific routes”, Olisa stated.

He stated further that the new planes will help the airline in its drive to meet the growing travel demand in the Nigerian and larger West African markets while it expects to take delivery of more Embraer 195-E2 airplanes.

“Air Peace is committed to reducing the air travel burden of Nigerians, and these new airplanes are a testament to this commitment,” Olisa said.

“Recently, Air Peace had assured the flying public of ample flights as it will be rolling out schedules for the festive period very soon.

“More aircraft are coming, and this includes those on maintenance and a brand new Embraer 195-E2 jet.

Olisa  also revealed that the airline would deploy its wide-body Boeing 777 aircraft to meet the increased demand characteristic of the festive period.
