According to Air Peace Communication, the movement shows its commitment to gender equality and the promotion of Nigerian women in aviation.
In 2017, Air Zimbabwe made a historic trip when a flight crew powered solely by women from the capital, Harare to Victoria Falls. A few days later, Ethiopian Airlines flew the first exclusively female crew flight from Addis Ababa to Thailand
Here are some congratulatory messages to the airline Air Peace about this historic moment

I was skeptical when Air Peace started – maybe I did not like the name lol. But I have been proven wrong again and again. Easily my first choice now within naija. Congratulations on another milestone. Do not stop fighting. There is much more land to cover
