Nigeria-based Air Peace, West Africa’s largest airline, has ordered five Embraer E175 aircraft. This strategic decision marks a significant step forward and is in line with Air Peace’s ongoing strategy to modernize its fleet. This acquisition is in line with Air Peace’s determination to become the operator of the largest and youngest aircraft fleet in Africa. It reinforces Air Peace’s commitment to improving domestic and regional network connectivity and paves the way for further regional expansion. Deliveries of the 88-seat aircraft begin in 2024. The value of the order, according to the list price, is USD 288.3 million.
Already the operator of Embraer’s newest and largest jet, the E195-E2, these smaller aircraft will complement the airline’s existing fleet, enabling Air Peace to dynamically match capacity with demand, protecting yields and route viability.
