Air Peace decorates first ERJ 145 captain

Nigeria’s fast growing carrier, Air Peace, has decorated the first captain on its Embraer 145 fleet, setting a standard to reward excellence and hard work.

At the decoration ceremony for Capt. Wisdom Isangadighi held recently at the airline’s Corporate Headquarters in Lagos, the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the airline, Mr. Allen Onyema, said he was pleased that the carrier was fulfilling its goal of servicing the “unserved and underserved” domestic and regional routes under its subsidiary — Air Peace Hopper.

according to him, the extension of the airline’s operations to the Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 (MMA2), which takes off from January 2, 2019, was strategically decided to boost the airline’s ‘no-city-left-behind project.’

In line with its decision to extend some of its local operations from the General Terminal to MMA2, the airline said it would move its Lagos-Akure, Lagos-Asaba, Lagos-Kaduna and Lagos-Port Harcourt NAF Base services to MMA2 from January 2, 2019, with a view to ease traffic at its GAT passenger processing points.

Onyema congratulated Isangadighi on making history as Air Peace’s first decorated Embraer 145 captain, urging him to continue to work hard to deliver the best service to the airline’s customers.

The Air Peace boss, who performed the decoration together with the carrier’s Chief Operating Officer, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Olajide, Chief Pilot, Capt Victor Egonu and Head of Training, Capt Nduduisi Ekwempu, urged pilots to sustain the airline’s strict safety standards, insisting that there was no room for shortcut and unprofessional practices in the aviation industry.

Speaking after his decoration, Capt Isangadighi expressed happiness that his childhood dreams of taking to the sky were being fulfilled.

He described his experience flying as exciting, assuring that he would continue to prioritize safety and professionalism in his flight duties.
