“I appreciate Governor Seyi Makinde for his various good efforts in Oyo State and what we are witnessing today is one of the fruits of such efforts. I appreciate the Chairman of Air Peace, Chief Allen Onyema for fulfilling the promise he made to me about two years ago on the Air Peace maiden flight to Dubai and the management of the Airline for commencing this flight operations with new aircrafts at Ibadan. The Chairman of Air Peace is a friend of Ibadan that has now become “son of the soil” and we appreciate his commitment to this project. The good people of Oyo South District, by extension Oyo State will remain grateful to his Excellency and Air Peace for easing the burden of flights to and from Ibadan”. Senator Kola Balogun stated.
With the commencement of this Air Peace flight, connecting Ibadan from other parts of the country will become very easy as Air Peace has brought down the fares and operates Ibadan- Port-Harcourt and Ibadan – Enugu routes too. Senator Balogun appreciates the Olubadan of Ibadanland, all Oyo State Government officials, the Airport Manager and other dignitaries at the occasion.
