Nigeria's Air Peace geared towards safety

It was recently heard from seasoned stakeholders that over 47 airlines had been licensed to operate after the liquidation of Nigeria Airways, 31 of them are comatose while only about eight are operational currently.

Allen Onyema, a barrister , who is the chairman of a relatively new entrant, Air Peace, says his airline is here to stay as it is set up to bring peace to Nigeria as witnessed in the composition of the workforce of the airline.

Onyema, who is the National Chairman of The Foundation for Ethnic Harmony in Nigeria (FEHN), said when the company took delivery of a B737-500 with registration number 5N-BQS, the airline had entered into a maintenance partnership with the BCT Aviation Maintenance Company of the United Kingdom.


According to him, Air Peace fleet is being maintained by the British maintenance firm, BCT Aviation Maintenance Company, which maintains aircraft around the world. He pointed out though the maintenance agreement was at a huge cost to the company, the airline attached importance to safety issues.

With seven Aircraft – 3 state of the art Dornier 328 Jets and 4 Boeing 737-500 sp (special performance) jets, travelers can be rest assured that their journeys will feel like holidays be you on vacation or a business trip.

All Aircraft are equipped with Automated Flight Information Reporting System (AFIRS 220) geared towards safety. This equipment is manufactured and installed on all the planes by Flight Aerospace Solutions Ltd (FLYHT) of Canada. FLYHT has a five-year contract with Air Peace to this end.  One of the fundamentals of the AFIRS 220 is the monitoring of the Engine trend from take off to landing not only by the Pilot but also officials monitoring on ground.


That way, the engine performance is seen guaranteeing maximum safety. The AFIRS special features like Flight tracking, the automated engine data collection for real time trending, fuel management and satellite voice communications currently stand Air Peace out as one of the Airlines with such matchless safety strength in the world!
