At the prestigious event, Air Peace was named “Airline of the Year”, while Dr. Onyema received the “Trailblazer Award in Transport and Logistics”—a dual honour that celebrates both corporate achievement and visionary leadership.
The Airline of the Year award highlighted Air Peace’s unmatched operational performance, customer-focused service delivery, and strategic expansion across domestic, regional, and international routes. Among the airline’s most celebrated recent milestones is the launch of its Abuja–London Heathrow service, marking the first direct connection between Nigeria’s capital and the UK’s busiest airport by a Nigerian carrier.
This historic achievement has not only deepened Nigeria’s global aviation ties but also reinforced national pride and economic engagement on the international stage.
In a similar vein, the Trailblazer Award conferred upon Onyema acknowledges his role as a driving force in repositioning Nigeria’s aviation and transport landscape. His forward-thinking leadership has inspired confidence, elevated industry standards, and expanded Nigeria’s aviation footprint globally.
These accolades add to Air Peace’s growing reputation as a benchmark for safety, innovation, and excellence in African aviation.
It also and underscore the pivotal role the airline and its leadership continue to play in shaping the future of air transport in the region.
