Air Peace has successfully completed its third humanitarian evacuation mission from South Africa, safely airlifting 268 Nigerian nationals back home in partnership with the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The special evacuation flight was operated with the airline’s Boeing 777-200 wide-body aircraft, once again deploying Air Peace’s long-haul capabilities in support of the Federal Government’s ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and voluntary return of Nigerians affected by the recent xenophobic tensions in South Africa.
With the successful completion of today’s operation, Air Peace has now safely evacuated a total of 801 Nigerians across three humanitarian missions, following the airlift of 262 Nigerians on June 11, 271 on June 30, and 268 on July 3. The milestone further reinforces the airline’s unwavering commitment to national service and its readiness to respond swiftly whenever Nigerians require assistance beyond the country’s borders.
