Air Peace Boss, Allen Onyema, Records Yet Another Milestone
Would it be a hyperbole if one describes the boss of Air Peace Airlines, Allen Onyema, as the best to have happened to Nigeria’s aviation sector? Or will it be out of place if other airline operators consult him for the secret of the trade? These questions and even more have been agitating the minds of stakeholders in the nation’s aviation industry.
The trained lawyer has proven to the world, especially intending entrepreneurs, that with persistence, dedication, work and prayer anything can be achieved.
Besides, his driving force has helped him maintain the top position among his competitors in the very stiff sector. He is an incurable optimist and always strives to attain results even when it seems nothing is going as planned.
He seems to share the same philosophy as former American President, Calvin Coolidge, who said: ‘‘Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”
It is no more news that he has set the pace for others in the same business becoming a reference point in the nation’s aviation sector. Despite the unparalleled success, he has refused to rest on his oars but has continued to paddle his canoe with so much power and gusto, breaking new ground, achieving significant high points and towering above others to the surprise of many.
Last Monday, Nigerians were awakened with yet another good news from Anambra State, as Air Peace has been granted permission to fly the New York route.
This good news, as gathered, comes after Air Peace submitted a request on January 12, 2024, seeking approval for flights to New York. The airline would be among other international airlines flying into one of the most popular airports, the JF Kennedy International Airport in New York.
Well, if you think the shrewd businessman has slowed down, you are mistaken, he has promised to secure more routes into his kitty, more routes that would shock many of his competitors, till there would be no more routes available.
