Embraer has delivered the first brand-new Embraer E175 airplane to Air Peace. The delivery further strengthens the partnership between Embraer and Air Peace, beyond their operations of the larger E195-E2 and the smaller ERJ145 fleet. The E175 will support Air Peace in its ambition to increase connectivity in Nigeria and the region, whilst providing more capacity flexibility to the airline.
“We are delighted to deliver this first factory-new E175 to our partners at Air Peace,” said Arjan Meijer, President and CEO at Embraer Commercial Aviation. “This delivery highlights the continued demand for right-sized aircraft, with airlines seeking to expand connectivity while maintaining high levels of efficiency and service.”
“The delivery of our first Embraer E175 is a major milestone in Air Peace’s growth, reflecting our commitment to boosting domestic and regional travel with a modern, efficient fleet,” said Dr. Allen Onyema, Chairman and CEO of Air Peace. “As we strengthen our leadership in West and Central Africa, this aircraft will increase our operational flexibility and market reach, all while maintaining the safety, reliability, and excellent service our passengers expect.
Air Peace’s position as a leading airline in West Africa is further reinforced by the delivery of the E175 which will deliver exceptional fuel efficiency, lower emissions, favorable economics on thin and medium-density routes, and great passenger comfort.
