Air Peace Airlines has announced special fares for students travelling to study when it commences its London route.
Chairman of Air Peace, Mr Allen Onyema, disclosed this during the airline’s travel agents forum for the London launch in Lagos, saying these fares will make it easy and affordable for students to travel during holidays and school resumption period, urged travel agents to properly manage the exercise so that it is not abused.
He bemoaned students’ inability to travel home for over two years because their parents cannot afford return fares to London, but assured that parents will no longer have to suffer to raise money for fares.
Onyeama said, “My children all schooled abroad and we insist that they return to Nigeria during their school breaks no matter how short. This is to enable us remain connected to our children and ensure they stick to our values and culture. I know this is also the desire of several other parents but this desire has been cut short because of high fares.
“This narrative will change as soon as Air Peace resumes flights to London. I am not interested in politics. This is not about going to London. It is about giving Nigerians the best option and yielding to the yearnings of Nigerians. I set up Air Peace to create jobs for Nigerians.”
According to Oluwatoyin Olajide, Chief Operating Officer, Air Peace, the London route will be operated with the airline’s Boeing 777 aircraft and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
