With eco-friendly design and fuel efficiency, the aircraft provides operational versatility while bridging travel gaps to underserved Nigerian cities.
Speaking on the development, Air Peace spokesperson, Osifo-Whiskey Efe, emphasized the airline’s deliberate growth strategy.
“We are excited to receive our second Embraer 190 and expect more units next year. At Air Peace, fleet expansion is intentional, it aligns with our mission to make air travel more accessible, comfortable, and seamless. This Embraer is the perfect fit for our domestic and regional operations, ensuring reliable service while optimizing efficiency and passenger experience.”
With more than 40 aircraft in its fleet, Air Peace remains Nigeria’s leading carrier and West Africa’s largest operator. The addition of the second Embraer 190 reinforces its status as a trailblazer in modern fleet management, connectivity, and passenger service.
Looking ahead, Air Peace plans to introduce new domestic routes, expand regional operations, and deepen international presence. By investing in next-generation aircraft, the airline is advancing its mission to unite communities, ease travel burdens, and strengthen Nigeria’s role in continental aviation.
