Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, said Air Peace’s success and resilience in the aviation industry deserves commendation given that many local carriers struggle to survive long-term.
Keyamo also affirmed the Federal Government’s support for
Air Peace and other local airlines, emphasising the airline’s remarkable growth
and dedication to quality service.
He spoke as Air Peace had its 10-year anniversary.
Keyamo said Air Peace was a symbol of national pride, celebrating the airline’s ability to compete internationally while enhancing Nigeria’s reputation in global aviation.
Acknowledging the leadership of founder and Chief Executive
Officer of Air Peace, Dr.Allen Onyema,Keyamo expressed gratitude for his
accomplishments, which reflect the airline’s impact and expansion.
He encouraged other Nigerian airlines to adopt similar,
long-term strategies as Air Peace, noting that the airline’s achievements
demonstrate the possibilities achievable through sound management and
commitment.
Keyamo also discussed the broader Nigerian aviation sector,
referencing recent studies that show Nigeria accounts for 80 per cent of
domestic air travel in Africa, with the Lagos–Abuja route being the continent’s
busiest.
He said Air Peace was well-positioned to meet this rising
demand, setting industry standards with its expansion and quality.
Keyamo also announced that leading aircraft financiers and
lessors have invited him and Nigerian airline operators to a high-level meeting
in January, aiming to secure support and financing for local airlines, which
will further enhance Nigeria’s global aviation standing.
