Nigeria's leading airline, Air Peace, resumed regular domestic flight operations today, 8 July, 2020, following the Federal Government of Nigeria’s directive to re-open Lagos and Abuja airports.

The airline is also urging its customers to embrace online booking and check-in, employing its user-friendly Mobile App, as a means of minimizing physical contact.

The airline's Spokesperson, Stanley Olisa, disclosed that Air Peace has put in place reliable measures to protect both passengers and staff pre-flight, in-flight and post-flight, adding that the flying public need not worry but comply with all health protocols. He said the airline has thoroughly disinfected all its aircraft and the flight crew are current as well as COVID-19 conscious.

He stressed that passengers must always wear their face masks before entering the airport terminal and onboard, and are expected to submit themselves for temperature checks before boarding.

According to him: "If your temperature reads above 37 degrees, you'll be denied boarding. No loitering on the aisle of the aircraft. Hands must be sanitized and no more meals on board. This is to reduce crew-passenger contact. Flying will be somewhat different but we can guarantee your safety".

Olisa, who implored the flying public to download the Air Peace Mobile App for seamless booking and check-in, asserted that all the airline's aircraft are in perfect shape as multiple shakedown flights have been conducted for safety reassurance. He added that the airline has also been operating a series of 'special' flights, which is an indication of aircraft airworthiness.
