Air Peace Ltd. has officially welcomed its second Embraer 190 aircraft, marking a significant step in its fleet expansion strategy aimed at enhancing domestic and regional air travel across Nigeria and West Africa.
The 96-seat jet, registered as 5N-CER, touched down at Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed International Airport at 2:42 p.m. on Friday. The announcement was made by the airline’s spokesperson, Mr. Efe Osifo-Whiskey, who emphasized the company’s commitment to modernizing its fleet and improving passenger experience.
“We are thrilled to receive our second E190 and anticipate more additions next year,” Osifo-Whiskey stated. “This expansion is deliberate, aligning with our mission to simplify air travel and connect communities.”
He highlighted the aircraft’s suitability for short- and medium-haul routes, noting its efficiency and reliability. The new arrival supports Air Peace’s broader goals of launching new domestic routes, increasing international operations, and reinforcing its presence across the region.
