Air Peace Evacuates Fourth Batch of Nigerians From South Africa

West Africa's largest airline and Nigeria's premier carrier, Air Peace, has successfully completed the fourth phase of its humanitarian evacuation operation from Johannesburg, South Africa, bringing home another 284 Nigerian nationals in collaboration with the Federal Government of Nigeria.

The latest evacuation flight, operated with the airline's Boeing 777-200, underscores Air Peace's continued commitment to supporting national emergency response efforts by providing safe and seamless transportation for Nigerians affected by the recent wave of xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

With the successful completion of today's mission, Air Peace has now safely repatriated 1,085 Nigerians across four humanitarian evacuation flights, having previously evacuated 262 Nigerians on June 11, 271 on June 30, 268 on July 3, and 284 on July 9. The milestone further reinforces the airline's enduring readiness to deploy its fleet and operational capabilities in the service of the nation whenever duty calls.

More than an airlift, the ongoing evacuation exercise reflects Air Peace's unwavering humanitarian philosophy; one rooted in compassion, patriotism and an abiding commitment to ensuring that Nigerians, regardless of where they may be, can always count on a safe journey home in times of crisis.

The latest operation also strengthens the carrier's distinguished record of humanitarian interventions. Since commencing operations, Air Peace has undertaken more than sixteen evacuation and relief missions across Africa and beyond, deploying its aircraft in support of emergency repatriations, humanitarian crises and other national interventions.

As Nigeria's leading airline, Air Peace remains steadfast in its mission to connect people beyond destinations, delivering hope, restoring families and standing ready to answer the call whenever Nigerians need a way home.
