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.
