Air Peace set to commence Abuja-Gombe, Yola flights

Air Peace says it is set to commence scheduled commercial flights into Gombe from Abuja.

The airline has also revealed plans to resume its Yola flight services.

The Chief Operating Officer of the airline, Oluwatoyin Olajide, disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday.

It stated that the decision to commence the Abuja-Gombe-Abuja route was a reflection of Air Peace’s resolve to open up the North-East as the region was currently underserved.

The airline said, “As part of our strategic route expansion drive and the determination to provide key connections addressing the air travel needs of Nigerians while fostering economic development and unity, we are set to kick off Gombe operations and resume our Yola flight services very soon,” she said.

Already, the airline said it had set up the Gombe station and called on residents of the state to apply for the positions to be filled in the station.

Olajide also commented on the airline’s aircraft maintenance. She said, “We have 17 aircraft undergoing varying levels of maintenance overseas and once they start returning, we shall launch more routes and resume others that we temporarily suspended.”

She added that the two brand new 124-seat capacity E195-E2 jets (of the 13 ordered) recently received from Embraer would soon be deployed to boost domestic and regional flights.
