Fidelity Bank Affirms Partnership With Air Peace

Fidelity Bank Plc, has reiterated its commitment to continue to partner with Air Peace Airlines, just as it has lauded the financial discipline of the air carrier.

Mrs. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, the Managing Director, Fidelity Bank Plc, while speaking during the ceremony to mark the arrival of Air Peace’s third Embraer 195-E2 over the weekend in Abuja, said when the airline disclosed its plans to buy 13 brand new aircraft from Embraer, she thought it was a joke, knowing how much these aircraft could cost.

Despite this, she said the bank still worked with the airline to actualise that objective and dream.

Onyeali-Ikpe said since Air Peace commenced business transaction with the bank about seven years ago, the airline has exhibited high fiscal discipline and prudence that had prompted the bank to go with the domestic carrier as far as it wanted to go.

She assured that the bank would continue to collaborate with the airline and would work with it all the way, adding that the bank was very happy with the airline’s successes thus far.

“It is a major success for a local player to have the level of financial discipline that this company has. So, I commend you, and we will work with you all the way to any level that you want. I also want to thank the staff of Air Peace and celebrate with Mr. Allen Onyeama; he is the strength behind all of these.

“We are here today to welcome the third aircraft. We have collaborated with Air Peace for so long and I can tell you that with determination and commitment, the vision and purpose that there is nothing you cannot surmount,” she said.

Ifeanyi Ubah, the Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, also speaking at the occasion, acknowledged that it was not easy to do business in Nigeria today, especially in the aviation industry.

He remarked that many airline operators were discouraged from buying new planes because of the huge costs on their finances.

He, however, commended Allen Onyema for being an astute businessman and the only operator still bringing in new aircraft.

He assured that the South East zone would continue to give support to Air Peace, maintaining that the airline represents the Nigerian flag.

Ubah said he was currently in talks with the Turkish Ambassador on the possibility of Air Peace exploring the Turkish airspace, adding that this would be another plus for the Nigerian carrier.

He assured that the country would continue to make laws that would enable local airlines to operate smoothly in the country.
