Four months after acquiring a Boeing B737- 800NG aircraft Air Peace has taken delivery of new ERJ-145 aircraft to boost its domestic and regional operations in line with its expansion plan.
The aircraft, with the registration number 5N-BXG, arrived the Murtala Muhammed International Airport at about 19.30hrs on Wednesday, March 4, 2020, from Morocco.
Mr. Stanley Olisa, the Senior Communications Executive of the airline told journalists that the new arrival is a 50-seater jet, stressing that the aircraft was previously undergoing routine checks in Morocco.
The arrival of the aircraft was the seventh Embraer 145 Jet to be acquired by the airline in recent years and increased the total fleet of the airline to 27 aircraft.
Olisa, restated the airline’s determination to ease the burden of travel in Nigeria and beyond, adding that the carrier was still expecting some of the Embraer 195-E2 Jets it ordered for in 2019.
He further assured the flying public that the airline was poised to interconnect various cities in the country and promised more domestic and international routes like Johannesburg, London, Houston and Mumbai.
It would be recalled that Air Peace, West and Central Africa’s largest airline, last year, at the Dubai Airshow, signed an order for three E195-E2 Jets.
