“As a customer-oriented carrier, it is only strategic that we seek a better operational atmosphere for seamless passenger facilitation and this exactly is what MMA2 offers with its state-of-the-art facilities and we are indeed proud of our decision to annex it to our Lagos hub,” the Air Peace boss said.
