Air Peace (P4, Lagos) has converted three of five E175s ordered in September 2023 to larger E195-E2s, bringing the airline's total firm orders of the new-generation aircraft to 16, with five already delivered and 11 more on firm backlog, according to Embraer's second quarter 2025 results.
Following the conversion, Air Peace retains two E175 on backlog, the manufacturer disclosed in its quarterly report.
Air Peace placed a firm order for five 88-seater E175s on September 14, 2023. Deliveries had been due to start in 2024, but none have been delivered to date.
According to ch-aviation data, four of the airline's E195-E2s remain grounded due to Pratt & Whitney engine issues. The fifth unit, 5N-BYH (msn 19020044), restarted revenue operations on July 28, 2025, having been stored since January 2024.
To address the capacity shortage, Air Peace is leasing one E190, 5N-CER (msn 19000431) from DAE Capital, which is currently stored in Cairo International, according to ch-aviation data; and one E195, 5N-CEF (msn 19000029), leased from Regional One, which is currently in maintenance at Lagos.
In total, 19, almost two-thirds of the airline's fleet of 30 in-house aircraft, remain AOG, with 11 in-house aircraft in service: two B737-300s, two B737-500s, one B777-200ER, one B777-300, four E145s, and the single E2. Air Peace also wet-leases two A320-200s from SmartLynx Airlines and two from SmartLynx Airlines Malta.
