Nigeria’s foremost airline, Air Peace, has begun operating a direct flight from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos to the Island country of Jamaica.
In a statement on Tuesday by the airline spokesman, Mr Stanley Olisa, the airline said that one of its three Boeing 777 aircraft with registration number 5N-BVE was deployed for the 11-hour flight which departed at 5 pm with 132 passengers on board.
The aircraft which arrived Montego Bay, Jamaica is expected to fly again into the island country on December 27 for a return trip the next day.
Olisa in the statement titled ‘Air Peace operates direct, nonstop flight to Jamaica’, explained that it was a special charter flight and the airline’s maiden flight to the island.
