The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, on Wednesday, thanked Gatwick Airport, London management for welcoming Air Peace, which started flight service to the airport on March 30, 2024.

 In his verified X (twitter) handle, @fkeyamo, the Minister acknowledged the message from Gatwick Airport authority, saying the message issued one week after the airline’s inaugural flight to the airport was belated but accepted, adding that the federal government was fully in support of its airlines.

“Finally!  Thank you, Gatwick Airport. We expected this (welcome message) on the first day of the arrival of one of our most important local airlines, Air Peace.

“But better late than never. We look forward to working with you to ensure seamless operation by Air Peace from your airport. The government of Nigeria fully supports our local operators,” the Minister said.

London Gatwick airport, @Gatwick_Airport, had welcomed the Nigerian carrier, saying, “Excited news! We recently welcomed Nigerian carrier @flyairpeace to the London Gatwick family, flying daily to Lagos.

“Perfect for reconnecting with friends and loved ones or for business travellers, embark on your next journey from London Gatwick to Lagos with Air Peace.”
