The successful return of an indigenous carrier, Air Peace Airline, on the Lagos-London route has reactivated the call for Fly Nigeria Act.
The proposed legislation aims to compel civil servants and functionaries travelling on the route, and at government expense, to patronise the indigenous carrier.
Air Peace makes a return to the highly competitive Lagos-London route about seven years after the forced exit of Med-View airline. Before Med-View were Arik Air and Bellview’s fortuitous exits on the route dominated by the duo of British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Keyamo, expressed delight in Air Peace’s new route and also vowed to safeguard the airline and other Nigerian carriers.
She said: “Let us reflect on the economic impact of this flight. Air Peace’s presence in London is not merely about arrivals and departures; it is about trade, investment and collaboration.” The President, Christian Association of Nigeria , Archbishop Daniel Okoh, has called on Christians to reflect on the ultimate sacrifice that Christ made for humanity by imbibing the virtues of humility, compassion and love for one another.
