Accolades as Nigeria's Airline Airpeace inaugural flight to Sharjah- Dubai UAE.


A game changer in the era of aviation in Nigeria as Nigeria's largest airline Airpeace commences flight to Sharjah -Dubai in United Arab Emirates.

CHAIRMAN Air Peace, Allen Onyema whose dynamic leadership and Managerial expertise even in the face of challenges has said that the airline’s foray into international operations will help end the short changing of Nigerians flying to Europe and other international destination.

Speaking at the inaugural flight of Air Peace to Dubai, via Sharjah, Onyema empathised with Nigerian travellers stating that they pay far more for international flights than those who fly for three hours more.

The airline which commenced its inaugural operations with over 70% load factor aims at maintaining its startup trajectory and according to its chairman aims at combating the price imbalance in the region.
“Let me tell Nigerians, what you pay to Europe for a 6hour flight , those that fly 9hours from Jo’ burg do not pay that; it’s time to stop the short-changing,” he said.

The AirPeace boss also said that competitors airlines would soon begin to crash their fares when they hear of and see the attractive offer Air Peace has in store but reminded them that these airlines refused to drop those fares initially until they came in

” As we speak our fares are attractive, we have N180,000 to Dubai via Sharjah on Economy, and we have N650,000 for Business Class while our First Class is N850,000 you won’t get a better offer, in fact for First class you see fromN2million up. I’m sure some airlines will reduce their fares but this is just to ensnare you again and keep ripping you off.”

“I am sure that Air Peace will start and not close shop after some months , I have no doubt this will succeed, it’s not because we have the best pilots or the best aircraft or the best maintenance , it is because of God ,” he said.

Also speaking, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Aviation, Saibu Zackari pledged government’s support to Air Peace stating that government supports all Nigerian Airline and will support Air Peace.

The Permanent Secretary represented by Engineer Azssan Musa, Director Air Traffic Management also hinted that government has helped with its special window for making foreign exchange available as well as aircraft spares.
With the commencement of this lucatrive route, it will come as  a breath of fresh air to the Nigerian flying populace who have over the years suffered fom the exorbitant air fares from foreign airlines.

From all of us at Aviation Roundtable, we wash Airpeace all the best on this achievement and we look forward to more expansion to other routes especially North America in the nearest future.
