Nigerian Govt Backs Local Airlines; Air Peace Launches Abuja-London Flight

The Nigerian government, through Minister Festus Keyamo, reaffirmed its commitment to bolstering indigenous airlines like Air Peace. The launch of Air Peace's Abuja-London flight was seen as a milestone supported by President Bola Tinubu's drive for local carrier empowerment.

Allen Onyema, Chairman of Air Peace, commended the government's swift policy interventions, highlighting the removal of a 4% FOB charge on aviation imports. This move signifies the government's dedication to strengthening the domestic airline industry and boosting confidence in Nigeria's aviation reform agenda.
