The management of Air Peace airline has received a new Embraer 190 jet as part of its fleet expansion, alongside plans to launch a direct flight from Nigeria to Brazil following a bilateral agreement between the two countries during the recent visit of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Air Peace spokesperson Efe Osifo confirmed the development on 26 September 2025 in Lagos. The 96-seater aircraft, with registration mark 5N-CER, landed at Murtala Muhammed International Airport at 2.42 p.m. on Friday. He disclosed that the airline is also preparing to welcome more Embraer units in the coming year.
“We are delighted to receive our second E190 and expect more next year. Fleet expansion is intentional, aligning with our mission to ease air travel. The Embraer 190 suits domestic and regional operations, ensuring reliable services while enhancing efficiency and passenger experience. The new aircraft reinforces our role in fleet modernisation and regional growth, connecting cities, uniting communities, and contributing to national and continental development,” he said.
Osifo added that Air Peace would soon unveil new domestic routes, expand its international network, and deepen regional presence to strengthen connectivity across Africa and beyond.
