THIS week a lot transpired. Some inspirational, meeting with commendations nationwide; others are much anticipated while some too were open to possibilities of global partnerships. Nigerianflightdeck witnessed it all. It witnessed Air Peace Chairman Allen Onyema take up the challenge of evacuating for free, Nigerians facing persecution in South Africa following an outbreak of violence due to xenophobia, also there was the partnership between the Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF) and the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) then Business Travel Management (BTM) entering partnership with CWT with the most recent acquisition of Dana Air, a 737-300 to boost its operations.
