She said: “As you know, most of our aircraft are on maintenance in different parts of the world. Thankfully, they are all returning in February, 2021.

“For us, it is great news as this means the launch of new routes. It also means the resumption of routes suspended consequent upon the COVID-19 outbreak.”

Olajide stated that the new connections are also testament to Air Peace’s ‘no-city-left-behind’ initiative. It also reveals the unbridled determination to provide an affordable access to safe and seamless connectivity across Nigeria and beyond. She added that the airline ‘is constantly reviewing its route network to reflect the air travel needs of the flying public’. Air Peace Expands
