Nigeria's leading carrier, Air Peace, has taken delivery of a new Embraer ERJ-145 aircraft to help boost its domestic and regional operations.

The aircraft, with registration number 5N-BXG, touched down at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport at about 19.30hrs on Wednesday, March 4, 2020, from Morocco.

With the arrival of the 50-seater Embraer ERJ-145 jet, Air Peace now has 27 aircraft in its fleet including 3 Boeing 777 for long-haul international operations.

The airline's image-maker assured the flying public that the airline is poised to interconnect various cities in the country and promised more domestic and international routes like Johannesburg, London, Houston and Mumbai.

Last year, at the Dubai Airshow, Air Peace signed an order for 3 brand new E195-E2 Jets. This is in addition to the 10 it ordered earlier, making it the launch customer of this type of aircraft in Africa.
