He said, three other fortunate passengers enjoyed free, convenient rides with Sixt Mobility service, demonstrating Air Peace’s commitment to making every aspect of the travel experience as effortless as possible.
In a further show of appreciation, five lucky passengers traveling in economy class were granted surprise upgrades to business class, adding an unexpected touch of luxury to their flights.
This thoughtful gesture highlighted Air Peace’s dedication to making its passengers feel valued and pampered, especially on such an important occasion.
The celebration reached its peak with a special moment aboard the Lagos-London flight, where passengers came together to mark the one-year anniversary of the route.
The cake-cutting ceremony, which was filled with joy and excitement, symbolised a year of exceptional service and strengthened connectivity between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
