Air Peace, Others Plan US Routes Flights

Nigerian airlines, including Air Peace, are getting set to launch flights to the United States soon.

This development comes as the Federal Government grants permissions and ramps up efforts to support local operators in widening their international reach.

Recently, the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, promised to further crash the prices of international flights.

He also explained measures taken to ensure local operators take full control of international routes in no distant future.

He said that his ministry, through the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President Bola Tinubu administration, is on course to break those barriers and make the environment conducive for both local and international airlines to strive.

A representative of the Airline Operators of Nigeria, anonymously confirmed that Air Peace has been recently granted the right to fly to the US, adding that other airlines are also in the consideration process.

“The airline that the government gave the right to fly to the US routes is Airpeace. There are other airlines but Airpeace has just been recently offered that,” the representative said.
