Air Peace Limited has announced the arrival of its second Embraer 190 aircraft, boosting its fleet and strengthening capacity for domestic and regional operations.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by the airline’s spokesperson, Efe Osifo-Whiskey, on Friday in Lagos.

The 96-seater jet, with registration mark 5N-CER, landed at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, at exactly 2.42 p.m. on Friday.

He noted that the airline was also set to welcome additional Embraer units in the coming year.

He said, “We are delighted to receive our second E190 and expect more next year. Fleet expansion is intentional, aligning with our mission to ease air travel. The Embraer 190 suits domestic and regional operations, ensuring reliable services while enhancing efficiency and passenger experience.

“The new aircraft reinforces our role in fleet modernisation and regional growth, connecting cities, uniting communities, and contributing to national and continental development.”

He added that Air Peace planned to unveil new domestic routes, expand international services, and deepen its regional presence.

Recall that the airline received its first E190 in June, highlighting its strategic investment in modern, right-sized aircraft for Nigeria’s aviation sector.
