Nigeria’s Air Peace has confirmed it plans to expand its route network with two regional destinations on the table that include flights from Lagos and Port Harcourt to Douala, the capital of Cameroon, on August 19, 2021.
The airline also announced that it is set to launch Abuja-Ibadan route on August 17.
The Douala route will operate three times weekly while Ibadan service will be operated daily and both routes will be operated by the airline’s newest jets, the Embraer E195-E2 which it is the global launch partner.
“These new routes will be operated with our ultramodern Embraer 195-E2 aircraft, and as we take delivery of more brand new E195-E2s as well as other aircraft undergoing maintenance abroad, we shall reinstate more routes and open up more connections,” said Air Peace Spokesman Stanley Olisa on Tuesday adding that the new routes is in line with Air Peace’s strategic connectivity, no-city-left-behind drive.
Air Peace has resumed most of its regional routes which were suspended following the outbreak of COVID-19 and the lockdown that ensued last year. The airline has restored its Freetown, Banjul, Dakar, and Accra services.
Air Peace currently services 17 domestic routes, 5 regional routes and 2 international destinations, including Johannesburg. The airline has a mixed fleet of 28 aircraft, the latest being three brand new 124-seat capacity E195-E2 jets.
