Air Peace is currently the largest airline in West and Central Africa. Last year, it became the first airline in sub Saharan Africa to place a firm order for 10 Boeing 737 Max.

Airpeace earlier this year became the first airline in Africa to order 124-seater E195-E2 jets from Embraer. The airline ordered 30 of these new generation aircrafts.

The airline in July 2019 also made history with the launch of its first international flight to Dubai via Sharjah international airport in United Arab Emirates (UAE).

This came after much preparations and acquisition of four wide-bodied 212-seater Boeing 777 aircrafts.

The Federal Government of Nigeria has also permitted Air Peace to operate to London, Houston, Dubai, Sharjah, Guangzhou-China, Mumbai and Johannesburg.

Air Peace thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for creating enabling aviation environment that made the airline achieve these feat within a very short time.
