Air Peace has added its first Embraer 190 aircraft with registration 5N-CEF to its fleet. The aircraft touched down at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, at the weekend.
The airline’s spokesperson, Osifo-Whiskey Efe, disclosed that the newly acquired aircraft is a 118-seater and the first of its type in the carrier’s growing fleet portfolio. He revealed that another unit is expected to arrive next month, further reinforcing the airline’s strategic expansion plan to bolster both domestic and regional operations.
“This aircraft is designed for efficiency, eco-friendly installations, and passenger comfort with the 2-2 seating layout, quiet and spacious cabin, making it the ideal fit for many of our routes. It enables us to connect more cities seamlessly and serve underserved destinations with the right capacity,” Efe said.
He reiterated the airline’s commitment to easing the burden of air travel in Nigeria and that with a fleet of over 30 aircraft, Air Peace has remained at the forefront of West Africa’s aviation space. “As of May 2025, the airline recorded an average on-time performance of 85% across its domestic network,” he said.
Looking ahead into the third quarter, Air Peace said it is optimistic about its growth trajectory. The airline plans to open new domestic routes, expand regional reach, launch more international destinations, and continue strategic fleet acquisition to meet growing passenger demand.
