Air Peace Lost $2 Million to Syphax Airlines to Protect Nigeria's Aviation Image - Allen Onyema

[@AlexAnosike-fo2mj]

You bring dirty and mad politicians and give them 1 hour, you bring hard working Nigerians and give them only 30mins. Any day you people bring Dangote or Allen Onyema to the studio,please plan for 1 full hour interview please, they are like drops of cold water in the centre of wilderness. You just want the drops to keep falling. Kudos Air peace, Kudos Keyamo, kudos Nigerians, Kudos Arise TV.

Exactly we need these people of hope to be called upon to talk to us and not just politicians who have nothing to offer

[@themark7948]

Why should a busy CEO come and spend an 1 hour talking to us. What about? As far as consumers are concerned, Air Peace just needs to provide great fares, good service and be reliable and safe. The travelling public should not care about a Cape Town Convention, IATA or whatever else. This conversation should in fact be with Festus Keyamo. He is the politician working on behalf of Nigerians and is the one who, along with his team, got the job done. This is for the benefit of Nigerian aviation industry and is not an Air Peace accomplishment.

How many passengers can you guarantee Air Peace from Rome to Lagos or Abuja everyday to ensure that the route is made profitable? Airline business is not a charitable venture.

[@YnOt-4]

​@mikemikey4287 France, Germany, Belgium, and Nertherlands etc, are the main Europe route aside UK... You'd be shocked to know that those routes are Nigeria's 3rd main routes after UK and North America and Air Peace doesn't have to be every day into these countries... could be every other day or twice a week.

​@@mikemikey4287 u lack wisdom and good sense of reasoning, ask ur self, the airlines carrying Africans to Africa, how are they getting passengers?

[@mikemikey4287]

I’m not interested in exchanging insults, as it’s not a reflection of the bad character & the parenting you had. Instead, why don’t you provide an answer to the question you just asked? If I may add, one of the challenges with a lack of proper education is the tendency to twist things and make them political when, in fact, some matters are purely technical. Now, if you truly want to contribute meaningfully, answer the question you posed. Asking a question doesn’t necessarily demonstrate intelligence; offering solutions and answers does. I don’t know if you have ran an airline business but I have. I’m waiting for your answer. Time to demonstrate your knowledge if you are indeed educated.

Flight delay has always been there, I never complained, but 2 minutes late to check in at the counter almost cost my life yesterday, due to the way & manner your workers attended, in my presence they checked in some people came after me, they ended up recommending a that I try Anambra airport which almost ended my life without a success, our seats where sold to the highest buggers even in our presents through the back doors. Sir, I would like to know if you gave the directives, I would like to know if the money is for air peace or the pockets of your workers. After they told me yesterday that it wasn't possible to reschedule a flight, I ended up paying almost a full ticket to enable me reschedule. Sir, I expect a compensation. It's very painful to tell lies to passengers in irrespective manners. Your disciplinary actions to your workers will be highly appreciated. Thank you sir 😢.

Apply that to your aviation business concern and your will realise how air peace makes more money than any other airline.

Like he explained, if other airlines acquire more planes,covering more routes, air fare will drop drastically ❤
