Air Peace has announced plans to commence international flight operations from London to the newly inaugurated Gateway International Airport in Ogun State this summer.
The airline’s Chief Executive Officer, Allen Onyema, made this known on Saturday while addressing journalists at the airport’s inauguration.
Onyema praised the facility, describing it as one of the most advanced in Sub-Saharan Africa, while commending the Ogun State Government for its development.
He also disclosed that the airline has secured approval from the Ministry of Aviation to begin operations.
“This is one of the best, if not the best airport in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is not just a building; it is everything you can think of that makes an airport an airport. Just the same thing if not better than what you find in the western world,” he said.
