Nigerian carrier Air Peace has expanded its fleet with a third Embraer E190. The aircraft, registered 5N-CET, is 13 years old and previously flew for Kenya Airways. It had been parked in Nairobi since February 2025. At the end of August, the jet was ferried via Cairo and Budapest to Tallinn, Estonia, where it will be repainted in Air Peace livery before entering service.

The addition strengthens Air Peace's Embraer operations. The airline now operates three E190s alongside one E195. It also recently took delivery of the first of two new E175 aircraft on order.

Looking ahead, Air Peace expects further Boeing 737-800 deliveries. The carrier holds orders for ten Boeing 737 Max 8 and eleven Embraer E195-E2 jets. No delivery dates for those aircraft were specified.
