Speaking during an interactive session with aviation journalists, the Chairman of Air Peace, Dr Allen Onyema, said that the Airline will relaunch its Nigeria-China route, which will be twice a week.

According to him, the airline has been granted permission by the British authorities to fly directly into Heathrow Airport, United Kingdom.

“On the international scene, daily flights from Lagos to London are going on, so we’ll start from October, and from then on, we will start Abuja -London flights as the British Authority has granted Air Peace access to Heathrow directly. We appreciate President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, for their support. If our safety record is dented, there will be problems. We have represented Nigeria so well.

“With this, we shall be running seven days a week, that is, four days to Heathrow and three days to Gatwick Airport from Abuja. If you are not good, foreign airlines won’t allow you to fly there commercially,” he stated.

 

Speaking on the re-introduction of the China route, the airline’s boss said it would be relaunched in October with the airline’s B777 aircraft. “We will restart the Nigeria – Guangzhou twice a year.”

 

Speaking further on other international routes of the airline, Dr Onyema, stated that the South Africa Visa regime is frustrating the passenger traffic on the route.

 

He also disclosed that the airline suspended the Dubai route because of the Visa ban placed on the country by the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

 

“The visa regime in South Africa is frustrating, even our pilots are being denied a Visa to South Africa. Also, we stopped the Dubai route because of the Visa ban, but now, it has been lifted, and we know there is no traffic currently, but we will continue to monitor the situation,” he said.

 

“We are going to do a direct flight to the Caribbean nations, starting with Antigua. A few days ago we flew to St. Kitts and Nevis. I’m sure some of you have seen the stories. We came back on June 12th. We flew to St. Kitts and Nevis. We came back the same day. And yesterday we went to St. Kitts and Nevis again and came back this morning.

 

“This is a 20-hour flight, 10 hours going, 10 hours coming. We landed in St. Kitts and Nevis, we tried our cargo, our passengers.”
