Bayo Adedeji, Group CEO of Wakanow, highlighted Air Peace’s broader economic and social influence in Nigeria, saying, “Air Peace is more than just an airline; it is a catalyst for economic resilience, job creation, and connectivity across Africa. By linking 20 destinations, including the Lagos-to-London route, Air Peace has spurred commerce, tourism, and cultural exchange. This anniversary reflects the potential of local businesses powered by vision and collaboration, and Nigeria stands to gain immensely from this.” He added, “We are proud to partner with Air Peace on this journey.”
As a Nigerian airline under the leadership of CEO Allen Onyema, Air Peace has played a vital role in growing the aviation sector. Its operations support thousands of jobs, boost trade and tourism within Nigeria and across West Africa, and enhance access to international travel for millions.

Together, we are advancing African travel, opening doors for connectivity and regional growth.”
