It is neither profitable nor liquid....it is just fanciful with a lot of risks

Hmmmmmm

I thought of this...I noticed the profit margin in the aviation industry is very very low that a mistake will turn it into red instantly

You are short sighted.

you have no idea the significance of having our local airlines going international -and staying truly international.

don't be a crybaby dude play the game like a man

You think so?

Nigerians should be encouraged to patronize Air Peace. Government at the same time should give it all the support including tax holiday to enable it compete favourably. We are all going to pay if we allow Air Peace to crumble.

Did you have a fight with your wife this morning? Seems like a transferred aggression or something.

lol.. not really. Some people can be very annoying

cedricksly:
this isn't competition, this is sabotage by the big money airlines... You just do not understand that's why. Okay let me ask u a question which business man reduces his price below any profit margin belt? Knowing very well they would have to use out of their money to to cover up looses because of how low they have reduce their prices to, not even break even pricing, they set a price that not just that they can't make money, they run at a loss for every flight, just to frustrate the new comer who would definitely want to make profit in the new route, no matter how small. When they kick him out of the market because he stops due to the fact that he can't compete in a healthy manner without running a loss, a loss he can't cover, when he is out of that route, they hike price back up, who do you think would suffer it? That's no competition bro, that's sabotage coz big airlines has always been a cabal, they frustrate every new commer out of the market coz they have enough money to play around... Why now? So they would have made profit setting price around what airpeace set? Why ha sit always been x3? And u think it is competitive reducing their price far below profit line? C'mon Think.

I understand your view point, the problem here is that the premise of your argument us not correct.

The airlines did not suddenly drop their prices below market prices!

Now please do a little research on the following timelines:

1. When and why did the foreign airlines block their 'low inventory fares in nigeria? - remember last year you could buy cheap tickets in Lome, cotonou, and younde, but not in nigeria?

2. When did the Airpeace announce flights to the UK and the start date?

3. Now AT WHAT DATE DID OUR OWN GOVERNMENT CHOSE TO PAY BACK THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OWED FOREIGN AIRLINES? AND THE EFFECT OF THOSE Airlines REINTRODUCING LOW INVENTORY FARES IN NIGERIA.

If you research this, you will realise that things are not as they seem.

I know what I am saying, I am an Aviation Lawyer.

Well, he came onboard with what he felt was a realistic fare, however, an industry filled with foreign criminals, were already enjoying exploitations of Nigerians and repatriating fat dollars to their countries in profit, of course, they'll fight back even if at the expense funding their operations from retained earnings pending when Air Peace is no longer able to complete, this response was expected though, but I bet you, Nigerians will be the ultimate losers. Today, we're still suffering DStv treatment of Nigerians. Since when did those competing criminals in the industry now knew they can flight at this present rate/fare? God continue to bless you Allen!!!

Bro, the foreign airlines have been running like a cabal in the Nigeria aviation industry, to break them , one needs to blend along, know their weakness before exploding.

Air peace wasn't patience at all, they just want to do everything gra gra

It's not just a Nigeria thing

The international aviation and ocean shipping business is "dominated and controlled" by very few powerful conpanies that have some sort of monopoly.

In fact, it's worse in the ocean Shipping business.

You under priced dem first naaa

ryloy:

When things don't go their way, Nigerians will accuse others of wrongdoing and even go so far as to mislead or fabricate facts for the public.

In the business world, price competition is not illegal, and it's actually beneficial to both buyers and sellers.

As it is, Air Peace Airlines' fares are still significantly lower than those of its primary competitors, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.

I have no idea why this dude is crying like a baby.

ryloy:
Yes, that is how businesses work, Competition is good for Nigerians

But unhealthy competition is bad for businesses especially what Ethiopian Airline is doing to Airpeace by cutting down on their Airfares.

Why did n't Ethiopia Airline start the Airfare cut in the first instances.

This was an Airline that was working to be our defacto national carrier like the defunct Nigerian Airways

In every business there has to be competition, and beside why should you, that is a Nigerian airline operator charge such exorbitant price? Is it not the same aviation oil others use that you are using? Or will you take a different airspace to London?

If not for Air Peace, one way ticket to the UK would still remain over #2m+; BA was even charging over #3m and Nigeria pessimists castigating Air Peace now would still be defending the foreign airlines why they are charging so high.
Then those nitwits are fond of saying 'tax this', 'tax that' made the fee high... Are those taxes not existing again? Did Air Peace removed those taxes for them?
We Nigerians should just unite and fly Air Peace. Those foreign airlines have made 6 years profit in one years extortion us. Now they don't mind running theirs businesses with no profit for the next two years to frustrate Air Peace.

mrvitalis:

Does the guy look to you like someone that will chicken out. Part f the competition is what he is indirectly telling Nigerians so they can keep patronising him. You certainly didn't get the memo. He is simply doing some emotional marketing

Hahahah.

Always knew you had a screw loose but today you made it obvious to all.

Imagine when God is Good Motors was coming out- he should have consulted Ekene Dili Chukwu, GUO Okeke and all the others to permit him to start providing services to Nigerians.

Or Etisalat should have consulted MTN, Airtel and Glo to permit it to come to market and be their competition!

Lollzz.

Only a fool will read this your post and take you serious from today.

It's obvious you have done nothing tangible in this life as you are incapable of sensible judgement.

And the significance is what exactly

Can Nigerian consumer protection players come in?

The government can give Air peace a subsidy like a tax break if possible.

LegendHero:


You are also right about this.

But I think Aipeace is bold for pushing it through without consulting them. He wouldn’t have been able to slash that price that much if he indeed consulted them..

Actions bring consequences. But I think he should have done a market research to see the effect of his action. So like that, he will have his checkup plan to counter these big airlines.

Government should step in and find a way to support one way or the other.

It is a win-win situation for Nigerians either way.

Government should step in and do what exactly? Bankroll him or offer Air ticket subsidy? He has been favored among all local Airlines already by getting the right to fly that route. Abegi we need more competition. What was he expecting? Other Airlines should not compete by reducing their own price so he would be the only one flying that route?

Read the crap that you are writing confidently. Oga how could Ethiopian Airline be Nigeria’s carrier? Does that make sense to you? This Nairaland is getting more and more annoying everyday

Give them a tax break to gain what? Nigerians and foolishness are like 5 and 6 walahi…

The airliners are competitors not enemies. There are several ways Air peace could have gone about it.

Those foreign airlines also have a way of reaching out to each other. How did all of them just dropped their price if not that they might have consulted each other

Haven't seen anyone confused as you are.
So consistent in spewing trash.
Reason why you are always at the wrong side of the wall.

Yet you would open your gutters to complain about multi - choice, how they are reaping off Nigerians. So, if there should be an AIRPEACE in the satellite television service business tomorrow, you would want them to consult multi-choice, before bringing down the price?

Ome would think you will take Glo and mtn as a case study, but no, you are not really about the competition or anything it, you are just being yourself.

I know the route you are taking, even though you are being tricky about it, but i won't try to take you on a mud fight, that's one thing you are good at.

No matter what Nigeria may appear to be going through economically, this market is very key for many organisations!

You no well.
Government should step up and protect air peace.
There is what is called aggressive monopolistic competition. A company can lower it price with zero profit in short run so as to chase out competition. Those without enough funds to sustain for long will faze out and leaving only one monopoly in the market

Centerpolefarms:
Many of you will come on NL and start talking like Nigeria is your second county or a transit point. If you go to all these Airlines country and see how they treat their citizens you will know that naija deserves more from them but they won't because we don't complain and our travel a lot. I could remember when I was in Nairobi, Kenya. Their government increases price of ugali (Maze flower) with just 1 bob and the citizens boycott the product and also went to street to protest 🪧 and the price was dropped within 24 hours. If na Nigeria, otilor. Promote your country and buy made in Nigeria. He doesn't kill or bite.

Government can’t keep subsidizing everything. Air Peace is a private business and they must find a way to survive competition. Arik was flying straight to London Heathrow before they were out-priced by foreign airlines.


The only way Air Peace can survive the price war is to appeal to the sentiments of Nigerians. They must make all Nigerians see Air peace as a national brand that is serving the interest of all Nigerians and whose survival depends on the patronage of Nigerians against harsh foreign competitors.

Sadly, they mismanaged the fallout of their maiden flight by allowing Obidients ethnicize the narrative. The Igbo pushback and the massive insults against Yoruba people because some very few people on twitter suggested that the dressing of the hostess should reflect a united Nigeria identity as against an ethnic group was unnecessary. President Tinubu and Keyamo were not spared in the insult. Now, how will they change the narrative?

So that Isiagu dressing still dey pain una ?

Seungmsg, Go and open your own airline. You can make Yoruba agbada your company's uniform. Nobody is holding you.
