The management of Air Peace says its scheduled commercial flights from Lagos and Port Harcourt to Douala, capital of Cameroon, will begin on August 19.
Spokesperson for the airline, Mr Stanley Olisa, made the disclosure in a statement made available to journalists in Lagos, on Tuesday.
The statement read that flights on its Abuja-Ibadan route would also begin on August 17.
According to it, the Douala route would operate three days weekly while Ibadan service would be daily.
“These new routes will be operated with our ultramodern Embraer 195-E2 aircraft and as we take delivery of more brand new E195-E2s, as well as other aircraft undergoing maintenance abroad, we shall reinstate more routes and open up more connections,” it read.
The statement added that customers could now book for the new routes on the airline’s website or its mobile app.
It stated that Air Peace resolved to continue providing peaceful and strategic connectivity in line with its ‘no-city-left-behind drive.’
The airline recently resumed most of its regional routes which were suspended following the outbreak of COVID-19 and the lockdown in 2020.
“We have restored our Freetown, Banjul, Dakar and Accra services,” it indicated.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Air Peace currently services 17 domestic routes, five regional routes and two international destinations, including Johannesburg, South Africa.
Air Peace also boasts of a mixed fleet of 28 aircraft, the latest, being three brand new 124-seat capacity E195-E2 jets.
