Nigerian airline Air Peace has signed an ACMI leasing agreement with KlasJet for one 737-800 aircraft.
Under the deal, KlasJet will provide a dual-configured aircraft that Air Peace will use for both scheduled passenger and charter flights.
The deal will support the airline in managing growing demand while maintaining capacity across its network.
Air Peace currently operates a mixed fleet of 29 aircraft, including Boeing 737s and 777 widebodies for long-haul services, as well as Embraer E195-E2s.
"As the region’s leading airline, we have ambitious plans for the future and are convinced that the aircraft leasing model provides us with the flexibility required to grow strategically,” said Air Peace chief operating officer Oluwatoyin Olajide.
“We believe that the ACMI model is well-suited for the African market, as it allows carriers to test out new routes and expand fleets without the additional financial burden of ownership,” said KlasJet deputy chief commercial officer Augustinas Riskus.
