Olisa hinted that the Maiduguri operations indicate yet another big stride in the airline’s route expansion drive.
He said: “We are very glad to be commencing flight services into Maiduguri, Borno State. It clearly demonstrates our commitment to the provision of increased connectivity for Nigerians.
“Air Peace is filling the gaps in Nigeria’s air travel, giving the flying public more network options. With the support of the State Government, under the visionary leadership of Governor Babagana Zulum, whom we are very grateful to, Air Peace is promising the people of Maiduguri and its environs seamless air travel.”
“As we kick off scheduled flights into Maiduguri from Lagos and Abuja today, be assured that this new route will be optimally serviced, and Nigerians, especially Maiduguri people, will benefit from it immensely”.
The airline promised to work with all the key stakeholders and, of course, the State Government to ensure the benefits of air travel are maximised and the impact sustained.
The statement also showed gratitude to Zulum, under whose leadership the commencement of the new route has been achieved.
He also lauded the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), and the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), as well as other relevant stakeholders whose efforts, the airline said had a positive impact on the launch of this new route.
On March 31, 2023, the airline launched direct, nonstop flights to Mumbai and on April 20, it began direct flights to Tel Aviv in Israel.
