The Chief Operating Officer of the airline, Mrs Oluwatoyin Olajide disclosed this in a statement in Lagos on Sunday. xOlajide said that the decision to commence the Abuja-Gombe route was a reflection of Air Peace’s resolve to open up the northeast as the region was currently underserved. “We are set to kick off Gombe operations and resume our Yola flight services very soon,” she said. On aircraft maintenance, she said: “We have 17 aircraft undergoing varying levels of maintenance overseas and once they start returning, we shall launch more routes and resume others that we temporarily suspended. She added that the two brand new 124-seat capacity E195-E2 jets(of the 13 ordered) recently received from Embraer would soon be deployed to boost domestic and regional flight connectivity.
