- Chinedu Eze

One of Nigeria’s leading carrier, Air Peace, has boosted its regional operations with the introducti­on of night flights out of Lagos, Accra, Banjul and Dakar.

A statement signed by Air Peace Corporate Communicat­ions Manager, Mr. Chris Iwarah, quoted the company’s Chief Operating Officer, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Olajide, who said the new flights were part of the airline’s strategy to make air travel on the West Coast of Africa seamless and more beneficial.

Olajide described that night flights, which commenced from the Murtala Muhammed Internatio­nal Airport, Lagos on Sunday, as a relief for business and leisure travellers on the West Coast looking to utilise their trips to transact their business unrushed.

“We keep reviewing our regional operations in line with our promise to provide seamless, on-time and comfortabl­e flight services. Whatever the travel needs of our esteemed guests, we want to be able to provide a service that fits their plans.

“We have been operating on the West Coast of Africa for more than a year and a half. One thing we have come to realise is that a lot of persons like to travel at night and get to their destinatio­ns on time to do their transactio­ns in a calm, unhurried and fruitful manner.

“This is the interest we are catering to with the introducti­on of night flights. We want our valued guests to arrive at their destinatio­ns, go about their business as they wish and still have enough time to prepare for their return trips.

“This is just the beginning of the new innovation­s and win-win travel options we are bringing to air travel on the West Coast of Africa. We value our guests and are always ready to make our flight schedules and timings as comfortabl­e as possible for them”, she said.

Speaking on the developmen­t, a passenger on the night flight from Dakar to Lagos, Nchang Damarisamb­em, said the option met her desire to arrive Lagos on time and continue her onward journey to Calabar for her transactio­n.

The flight, she said, was a pleasant experience. She pleaded with Air Peace to extend its operations to Yaounde, Cameroun, her country to give the people an opportunit­y of experienci­ng its spectacula­r flight services.
