Women from the South-eastern part of Nigeria have called on Air Peace to quickly launch its international operations.

The group assured the management of the airline that they would mobilise their members and other air travellers to patronise the airline on all its long-haul routes.

The women pointed out that they support indigenous airlines to airlift them to various international destinations as its is also an avenue to create job for Nigerians and improve foreign exchange receipts into the country.

The women under the aegis of ‘Umuada Igbo Nigeria and in Diaspora,’ made the call during the group’s thanksgiving and awards-giving ceremony in Enugu at the weekend.

The South-east women, who conferred Air Peace with the award of “Best Air Carrier of the Year”, said they were proud of the expansion of the airline’s route network, saying that the airline had made air travel in Nigeria seamless and reliable.

Presenting the award to Air Peace, founder of the association, Kate Ezeofor said the group was anxiously waiting for the launch of the airline’s international routes.

The group, she pledged, would support the carrier to ensure the success of its long-haul operations.

Air Peace Corporate Communications Manager, Mr. Chris Iwarah, who received the award on behalf of the airline, commended the group for recognising the carrier’s efforts to transform air travel in Nigeria and beyond.

He assured the group that the airline would be outstanding in its international flight services, adding that Air Peace was making a success of its vision to create jobs and transform air travel.
