    Air Peace Orders Five Embraer E175 Aircraft

    (15/09/23)
         Air Peace, West Africa’s largest airline, has
    placed a firm order for five Embraer E175 aircraft, valued at
    US$288.3 million at current list prices.

    The acquisition is in line with Air Peace’s goal
    of having the largest and youngest fleet of aircraft in Africa,
    and reinforces the Nigeria-based airline’s commitment to enhancing
    domestic and regional connectivity.

    Deliveries of the 88-seat aircraft, which will be
    used to expand Air Peace’s regional network, are scheduled to
    start in 2024.

    “This is another important step in helping to realize our
    ambition to connect the whole of Nigeria with the entire African
    continent, while also feeding passengers into long-haul flights
    from our Lagos hub,” said Allen Onyema, Chairman and CEO of Air
    Peace. “The acquisition enables us to continue
    delivering on our ‘no-city-left-behind’ initiative – connectivity
    is what our passengers, and Africa, demand. The deal also paves
    the way to establish local maintenance capabilities in Nigeria,
    with direct support from Embraer.”

    Already an operator of Embraer’s largest jet, the E195-E2, the smaller aircraft will complement
    the airlines’ existing fleet, allowing Air Peace to dynamically
    match capacity to demand, protecting yields and route viability.

    “Air Peace’s strategic and innovative approach
    continues to make them a powerhouse of aviation success in West
    Africa,” said Stephan Hannemann, VP Sales & Marketing, Head of Africa & Middle
    East Region, Commercial Aviation. “Already an E2 operator, it now makes sense to upgauge
    their ERJ145 fleet, offering passengers more seats and comfort
    with the E175. The commonality of the cockpits between the E1 and
    E2 fleet also simplifies aircrew costs and management.
    Acknowledging Air Peace’s significant investment in the
    acquisition of the Embraer fleet of aircraft, which has increased
    to 18 brand new firm aircraft to date, Embraer, in partnership
    with Air Peace is committed to directly supporting the
    establishment of local maintenance capabilities in Nigeria.”
