The Global Peace Movement International, UK has congratulated the Chairman and CEO of Nigeria’s largest carrier, Air Peace, Allen Onyema on the inaugural flight ceremony from Lagos to Guangzhou, China at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos on Wednesday.
President General, Dr. Mike Uyi in a statement on Thursday commended the airline and its CEO for the bold move to reposition the nation’s aviation industry.
Uyi said this step by Air Peace, Nigeria can now compete in the international, regional and domestic air travel market to regain what the country has lost over the years to foreign airlines.
He also noted that with the increase in capacity, it is expected that Air Peace would open new frontiers, new destinations both in Africa and beyond and in doing so, create more job opportunities for Nigerians.
“This is a significant step for an accomplished man whose visionary airline is already employing over 3000 Nigerians and turning their economic fortunes around,” Uyi said.
