Leading Nigerian carrier, Air Peace, has said its operations into the Togolese capital will ease the hitherto difficulties passengers go through while connecting flights within the West Africa sub-region.
Speaking during the launch of the flight into Lome, the airline Safety Manager, Capt. Godfrey Ogbogu disclosed that the latest route increased Air Peace regional routes to eight in less than nine years since its inception.
He said “Today, Air Peace is connecting another city in West Africa. In March 2022, we launched Niamey in Niger Republic. Now, we’re expanding further with the commencement of flights into Lome, Togo.
It suffice to say we’re on a mission to easing air travel and bridging the connectivity gap among West African countries, and we’re quite delighted that Togo is joining our route network, making it eight regional routes in less than nine years since inception. Togo and Nigeria currently have strong socio-economic ties and both countries have collaborated on significant fronts.”
According to him, the Lome voyage has given credence to the ties between Nigeria and Togo and will foster commercial cooperation as well as deepen bilateral ties between both countries.
He added that the ‘no-city-left-behind initiative’ of Air Peace is not just for domestic operations but for regional cities and beyond.
He said “Nigerians come to Togo for business and other purposes and the launch of this connectivity adds fillip to this economic exchange between both countries and also advances development.
