Air Peace Airlines, one of the frontline carriers in Nigeria, owned and operated by Anambra- born Chief Allen Onyema, has landed Embraer 195, E2 aircraft from Lagos at Anambra International Cargo and Passenger Airport, Umueri.

This follows the approval by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) for the airport to operate Boeing 737-700 aircraft or its equivalent. 

Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, was on hand to witness the flight debut flanked by members of the state executive council and others.

The plane landed at exactly 1:13pm with one hundred and ninety five passengers from Lagos.

Recall that in a letter dated 24th January, 2022, the Nigeria’s Aviation regulator communicated the Governor about the upgrade based on satisfactory inspection carried out by the aerodrome safety inspectors.
