Why Air Peace foray into Intl routes is delayed –COO

Air Peace’s foray into international routes may be a mirage except government’s policies in aviation are relaxed for the carrier to compete with their foreign counterparts, the Chief Operating Officer of the airline, Mrs. Obligation Olajide, has said.

The airline was designated on long haul flights to Houston, London, Guangzhou-China, Houston, Mumbai, Johannesburg, Dubai and Sharjah but yet to operate any of the routes.

She said this on the sideline of the just concluded 5th Aviation Stakeholders’ Forum organised by the Federal Ministry of Transport in Abuja last week, International airlines such as British Airways, Air France-KLM, Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines, Qatar, Virgin Atlantic, Lufthansa among others, are having a field day with no challenge from indigenous operators.

In fact, they are consolidating on the Nigerian route and raking in billions of Naira in revenue.
