Air Peace yesterday added Yola, Adamawa State, to domestic route network with the launch of the Lagos-Yola- Lagos and Abuja-Yola- Abuja flight operations.
The airline’s Boeing 737-500 aircraft departed the Murtala Mohammed Airport General Aviation Terminal (domestic) at around 9 a:m to Abuja and then Yola. It was the airline’s first inroad to the North East part of the country.
The flight was, as usual, welcome with the ceremonial water cannon with authorities at the airport led by the Airport Manager, Mallam Adamu Sheikh receiving the airline’s team.
Chairman of Air Peace, Mr. Allen Onyema represented by the Corporate Communications Manager, Mr. Chris Iwarah said the launch of the Yola service signifies the end of “needless delays and cancellations on the Yola route”.
“We are quite hopeful that our great experience here will positively impact our plan to expand into other cities in the North of Nigeria and some other grossly underserved areas in the country in the days and months ahead”, he said.
