After six years, a Nigerian carrier, Air Peace, reactivated the bilateral air service agreement (BASA) Nigeria signed with the United Kingdom by launching a direct flight to London.
Amidst widespread plaudits and jubilation, the inaugural flight of Air Peace touched down at London Gatwick with the federal government throwing its weight behind the airline.
Daily Trust reports that no fewer than three Ministers were on ground for the inaugural flight. They are Ministers of Aviation; Trade and Investment and Foreign Affairs, Festus Keyamo, Doris Uzoka-Anite and Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar.
