Air Peace (P4, Lagos) reportedly has filed a 1x weekly Lagos-São Paulo Guarulhos service with Brazil's civil aviation regulator (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil - ANAC) for launch on December 15, 2026, using a B777-200ER, but the airline has yet to confirm the route or open sales. If confirmed, it would restore the first scheduled direct Nigeria-Brazil air link in 32 years since Varig withdrew from the route in 1994. Air Peace received Brazilian operating authorisation in June 2026. CEO Allen Onyema announced Air Peace's plans for nonstop flights to São Paulo with the delivery of the airline's second B777-200ER, 5N-CEG (msn 33395), in March 2025. ch-aviation has asked the airline to comment.

Air Mauritius reviews A350 orders, seeks narrowbodies
Air Mauritius (MK, Mauritius) is reassessing three A350-900s it has on order and has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for up to five narrowbodies as part of a fleet review under its wider Future-Fit Game Changer restructuring plan.

Air Mauritius (MK, Mauritius) is reassessing three A350-900s it has on order and has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for up to five narrowbodies as part of a fleet review under its wider Future-Fit Game Changer restructuring plan.
The airline is also considering converting its sole ATR72-500 into a medevac and cargo aircraft for services to Rodrigues Island, the airline said in a statement.
This follows the completion of a "clean-sheet" ten-year network review by aviation consultancy Seabury Aviation Partners and the application of route-profitability criteria to a fit-for-purpose network.
As previously reported, Air Mauritius' three additional A350-900s are scheduled for delivery in December 2026, first quarter of 2028, and final quarter of 2028. It was not immediately clear if these deliveries have been deferred.
CEO André Viljoen previously said that the airline was considering adding narrowbodies such as the A321-200NX(LR) or B737 MAX. The airline's current fleet of 11 aircraft comprises widebodies and regional aircraft, including four A350-900s, two A330-900Ns, one A330-200, three ATR72-600s, and one ATR72-500.
Viljoen previously said the narrowbodies would be better suited than the carrier's A330 widebodies for routes such as Johannesburg O.R. Tambo, Cape Town International, Kuala Lumpur International, and Mumbai International, allowing the airline to increase frequencies while lowering operating costs.
Meanwhile, the airline has established a "fuel war room" to oversee flight planning, weight reduction, auxiliary power unit management, and tankering. An efficiency and cost control office is also being established.
Between August 2026 and July 2027, the focus would be on revamping the airline's onboard experience, covering crew training, menu improvements, and a sharper focus on passengers. Lounge upgrades and a refurbished ticket office in Ebène have already been completed.
Ten-point plan
Viljoen is presenting the ten-point turnaround plan to employees, trade unions, and other stakeholders. The plan follows an organisational review and aims to address current challenges and support sustainable long-term growth, the airline said.
The first strategy, Perfecting the Basics, focuses on operational foundations, ahead of wider priorities including fleet modernisation, network development, partnerships, cost management, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives.
Air Mauritius said it had completed diagnostic assessments across all functions and begun implementing changes. It has also signed memoranda of understanding and collective agreements with trade unions.
Early results include technical dispatch reliability of 98.72% in July 2026, the airline’s best monthly performance since 2020 and above its 98.5% benchmark. The result follows 12 months of improvement. Customer satisfaction rose from 72.2% in September 2025 to 76.1% in August 2026.

Voluxis Malta secures AOC with Global 7500

Voluxis Malta (VMT) has secured Maltese AOC #MT-90 on October 22 with a Global 7500, in line with plans outlined to ch-aviation by senior commercial director Gavin Copus in an exclusive interview during Air Charter Expo 2026 at Biggin Hill, England, in September.
Following certification, Voluxis CEO Warren Gravell said the Maltese AOC was a response to customer demand. “Malta is our first EASA AOC and allows free movement around Europe, maximising our charter capabilities.”
As Copus outlined to ch-aviation, Voluxis Malta's first aircraft is a 2023-built Global 7500, registered in the country as 9H-ZAM (msn 70172) in October. Configured for up to 16 passengers, the ultra-long-range jet has yet to enter service. This Global 7500 was previously registered in San Marino as T7-ZAM and operated by Voluxis San Marino out of Dubai World Central.
Voluxis San Marino's fleet currently comprises a Challenger 350, a newly added Citation Mustang, and a G550. In the United Kingdom, Voluxis manages a Hawker 850XP, a Legacy 500, and a Praetor 600.
Maltese plans
Gravell added that Voluxis had been building a complete offering for aircraft owners with multiple AOCs. “We see Malta as an important part of our aircraft management strategy. Our clients have the choice between the United Kingdom, San Marino, and now Malta, to register their aircraft, with each AOC having a slightly different list of benefits.”
In the interview with ch-aviation, Copus outlined plans for a 15- to 20-aircraft fleet within the next five years for Voluxis Malta, with two to three jets added annually and a focus on charter-oriented aircraft in the super-light segment and above.
“Our goal is to have pools of three to five aircraft, covering around three to four types. We're interested in charter workhorses such as the Citation XLS and Phenom 300, through to the Legacy 500, Praetor 600, Challenger 605, and the Global series,” he said, noting that smaller jets currently have limited commercial potential.
Voluxis Malta will initially target European-based owners, with Germany, Scandinavia, and Spain identified as markets offering strong potential.
