Air Peace has announced plan to launch commercial flights from Abuja to Gombe in line with its route expansion and no-city-left-behind vision.
It also stated that it will soon resume flying to Yola, Adamawa State.
The carrier’s chief operating officer, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Olajide, who disclosed this in a release, explained that the decision to commence the Abuja-Gombe-Abuja route is a reflection of Air Peace’s resolve to open up the northeast region which, according to her, is currently under-served.
“As part of our strategic route expansion drive and the determination to provide key connections addressing the air travel needs of Nigerians while fostering economic development and unity, we are set to kick off Gombe operations and resume our Yola flight services very soon”, she said.
Olajide said the airline had already set up the Gombe station and “is calling on residents of the state to apply to the airline as there are roles to be filled in the station.”
Meanwhile, she said some of Air Peace aircraft were undergoing maintenance overseas.
“We have 17 aircraft undergoing varying levels of maintenance overseas and once they start returning, we shall launch more routes and resume others that we temporarily suspended,” she said.
However, she said two new 124-seat capacity E195-E2 aircraft (of the 13 ordered) recently received from Embraer would soon be deployed to boost domestic and regional flight connectivity.
