Air Peace, Nigeria's leading airline, has recently promoted two of its Senior First Officers, Obinna Okeke and Adedamola Adeoye, to the esteemed rank of Captain on its Boeing 737 fleet. This significant milestone underscores the airline's commitment to recognizing and nurturing talent within its ranks.​

The promotion was officially announced on April 16, 2025, through a statement by Air Peace's Head of Corporate Communications, Ejike Ndiulo. Both Captains Okeke and Adeoye have demonstrated exceptional skill, leadership, and dedication to maintaining the airline's high operational standards. ​

This development follows a similar advancement earlier in February when Senior First Officer Chibuzo Mbanefo was elevated to Captain on Air Peace's Boeing 777 fleet. Captain Mbanefo's journey from a flight dispatcher to commanding the airline's largest aircraft exemplifies Air Peace's dedication to career progression and in-house talent development. 

Air Peace's consistent investment in its personnel not only enhances its operational efficiency but also contributes to the broader growth of Nigeria's aviation sector. By fostering an environment that values excellence and continuous learning, the airline sets a benchmark for others in the industry.​

Congratulations to Captains Okeke and Adeoye on their well-deserved promotions. Their achievements serve as an inspiration to aspiring aviators and reaffirm Air Peace's role as a catalyst for professional growth in aviation.​
