Air-peace Gets Rewarded With a Commercial Flight License Under Nigeria/South Africa Bi-National Agreement

The South African Government has granted Air Peace’s request to commence commercial flights to Johannesburg, South Africa. This was confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign affairs in a statement through its spokesperson, Ferdinard Nwoye. The confirmation was granted in the process of ascertaining the level of implementation of the Bilateral Air Service Agreement (BASA) between Nigeria and South Africa. This was at the Senior Officials Meeting (SOM) of the 9th Session of the Nigeria/South Africa Bi-National Commission Summit in Pretoria, South Africa. While speaking about the new agreement, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace Airlines, Chief Allen Onyema confirmed that the airline would commence operation as soon as possible to promote air travel between Nigeria and South Africa. The bilateral air services agreements between Nigeria and South Africa will allow the designated airlines of the countries to operate commercial flights normally as it will regulate the frequency and capacity of air services between the countries, pricing, and other commercial aspects. This will help in boosting international relations between the 2 countries.
