Air Peace CEO Hails Tinubu as Nigeria Signs BASA Agreement with Brazil
By Joseph Iyaji | Akahi News
Allen Onyema, Chairman and CEO of Air Peace, has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for taking decisive steps to advance Nigeria’s aviation sector, following the signing of the Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA) between Nigeria and Brazil.
Speaking on the sidelines of the agreement, Onyema emphasised the significance of direct air connectivity between the two largest nations in their respective continents. “For the aviation industry, we must commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for taking decisive steps that are truly advantageous for Nigeria and Nigerians. Brazil and Nigeria are the largest nations in their respective continents, and it has long been an aberration that there was no direct air connectivity between us until now,” he said.
He added that the agreement is expected to unlock new opportunities, generate thousands of jobs, and strengthen cultural and economic ties. Onyema also reaffirmed Air Peace’s readiness to operate on the new route, noting: “We came here with a Boeing 777 aircraft to demonstrate our commitment and to show Mr. President that we are prepared to serve this route and strengthen the bridge between our two nations.”
