Air Peace’s new E195-E2 Aircraft begins Test Flights

Air Peace has deployed its two brand new 195-E2 aircraft for operating test flights in preparation for service.

Stanley Olisa, Spokesperson for the airline, in a statement, said that one of the two aircraft was flown empty from Lagos to Owerri, Abuja and Port Harcourt for familiarisation at the weekend.

The statement hinted that test flights to other destinations would continue, adding that in no time, the planes would commence scheduled flights, offering a superior travel experience to customers.

He disclosed that the third brand new E195-E2 aircraft will arrive in the country very soon.

He emphasised further that the airline’s fleet expansion was driven by the commitment to satisfy the air travel needs of Nigerians.

He added: ”The operation of test flights by newly acquired aircraft is a regulatory requirement that must be met before the aircraft is deployed for regularly scheduled operations.”

Air Peace had taken delivery of the two brand new ultramodern 124 seat capacity Embraer 195-E2 aircraft in January and March this year, with 11 more slated for delivery subsequently.
