Air Peace Initiates Construction of Aircraft Maintenance Facility, Creating 50,000 Jobs

Air Peace, West Africa's largest airline, has initiated the construction of a Maintenance Repair Overhaul (MRO) facility at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, creating 50,000 job opportunities. The project aims to transform Nigeria's aviation sector, reduce capital flight, and position the country as a regional hub for aircraft maintenance.

The facility, spanning various areas like hangars, workshops, and offices, is a significant step towards ending the airline's reliance on overseas maintenance services. The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by the Minister of Aviation and senior executives from Fidelity Bank (NGX: FIDELITYBK).

Air Peace's Chairman, Dr. Allen Onyema, highlighted the airline's resilience and commitment to changing the narrative in the aviation industry.
