At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, several organisations tried to cut cost by reducing the number of their staff.
Allen Onyema, the Chairman of Air Peace was no different, as his airline had to downsize leading to serious criticism.
His critics picked holes in the storyline that his businesses were not totally profit-focused, but an economic intervention plan.
Naysayers were quick to forget that he was the same person who at no cost flew back hundreds of Nigerians from South Africa during the xenophobic attack.
Onyema has now shut down his critics with his acquisition of 13 brand new aircraft with two already delivered by leading Brazilian aerospace company, Embraer.
The latest acquisitions combined with Air Peace existing seven aircraft makes the organisation the envy of Africa’s skies.
When the ordered aircraft are all delivered, the airline would have succeeded in creating 8,000 new jobs, shushing its critics once and for all.
