The Chairman of Air Peace, Dr. Allen Onyema has called on Nigerians to rally behind indigenous investors by supporting the airline to sustain its operations on the Lagos – London route launched recently. He made the call during a special event at the Civic Centre organised by Fidelity Bank to celebrate the airline for its milestone achievement of commencing scheduled flight operations into London, United Kingdom.
“The airline needs the support of Nigerians. For every penny you pay to Air Peace, you pay to sustain the jobs of thousands of Nigerians and support economic growth. Air Peace truly cares about the Nigerian project and supporting the airline means supporting the growth of the Nigerian economy. “Air Peace flies you from any of our domestic routes to London. So, you can fly from Yola to London via Lagos. From the local airport, you are taken to the international airport free of charge with a seamless luggage transfer process,” Dr. Onyema remarked.
He went on to thank Fidelity Bank for their consistent support given to Air Peace and stressed that the bank had contributed to the success story of the airline. “I call it our journey with Fidelity Bank. I did not envisage this day would come when an indigenous institution would be celebrating another indigenous institution. Fidelity supports real business. They keep removing people from the streets of poverty. Let other banks emulate Fidelity,” he declared.
In her remarks, the Managing Director, Fidelity Bank, Dr. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, commended Air Peace’s giant strides and financial discipline which it has upheld since inception. “Air Peace has been very loyal to us. We are grateful to have them as our client and we are celebrating their milestone of launching direct flight services to London and other milestones they will achieve,” she added.
