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!
