He commended the travel agents for their loyalty to the airline, while restating the airline’s commitment to working with them to ensure the new route was maximised for everyone to enjoy the payoffs.
Adeyemi said, “In the first half of this year, we launched two major international destinations- Mumbai and Tel Aviv- and now we are gearing up for Jeddah next month. This does not only signal growth and expansion for the airline but it also demonstrates our firm commitment to reducing the burden associated with connecting cities with stopovers.
“We promise direct connectivity and this is evident in our international route network. We offer direct flights at affordable fares.”
The Vice president, National Association of Nigerian Travel Agencies, Northern Zone, Abdulrazak Ibrahim, commended Air Peace for the planned Jeddah route and reaffirmed their support.
He urged the airline to keep blazing the trail in driving route connectivity across domestic and international cities.
