The airline, which began its Lagos-London direct flights on March 30, 2024, assured passengers of its commitment to safety.

Local airline operator Air Peace says some alleged safety violations raised by the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (UKCAA) have been resolved with the British regulator.

In a statement on Monday, the airline, which began its Lagos-London direct flights on March 30, 2024, assured passengers of its commitment to safety.

“We can confirm that the UK Civil Aviation Authority wrote to Air Peace, after their statutory Ramp Inspection on April 7, 2024, to request clarification on our use of the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) and some other concerns. We provided the necessary information, and the matter was resolved without any issues,” the airline said.

“It is, therefore, wrong to say we do not have approval for our EFB. Air Peace received approval from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), and all our Boeing 777 aircraft are certified to operate with EFBs.”

“Regarding the claim that our B777 aircraft lack iPad mounts and charging ports in the flight deck, this is incorrect. All B777 aircraft are equipped with charging ports in the cockpit, and we ensure that all our B777 aircraft have iPad mounts.

“Another issue raised by the UK CAA was the location of our cockpit library on the B777. The B777 designates two locations for storing manuals and books: one behind the captain and one under the jumpseat. During the inspection, the books were stored under the jumpseat, as it is commonly practised. We understand the inspector’s preference for the books to be placed behind the captain and have ensured this preference is accommodated for all operations going forward.

“There was also a concern about the captain’s choice of runway exit after landing. Instead of exiting at the middle runway exit, the captain, out of his professional discretion, opted to exit at the end of the runway. This may have delayed the arrival of another aircraft. We acknowledge this deviation and have addressed the matter with the captain to ensure adherence to preferred exit procedures in the future.”

The airline said ramp inspection was a normal procedure carried out by aviation authorities globally, and the UK CAA did the right thing by notifying its Nigerian counterpart of the outcome of their inspection.

“Air Peace’s safety record is second to none, and we go above and beyond to comply with all established safety standards. Safety is the bedrock of our operations, and we have robust operational mechanisms to guarantee full compliance always,” Air Peace added.

Honestly those allegations were laughable at best. Flight manual location and iPad mount? This should not have even made it to the news.

laughable until you work with British people, the things we take for granted here is what they can use to kick you out of their work environment immediately. Those people are nuts for safety protocols and I'm a first hand witness

Developed countries take safety very serious truly. He's probably not traveled before

Developed countries take safety seriously, but the USA, as a developed country, has had at least 10 or more air crashes in the last year

So Petty of the Brits..... No wonder the Spaniards have slammed them visit fee for tourism.

They are not laughable
Transparency is key
Play the game not victim
If they raise any questions answer them
No need for sentiments just keep good records.
If anything when you know you are under extra scrutiny you are at your best

Did you really read Air Peace response? Every is intact, if the inspector didn't see it in only one of the two possible places to keep it, or did not have the requisite training to know it's possible to be kept in two places, how is that Air Peace problem!

That a flight captain used his discretion to park at the far end during peak hours,
so other planes can have free way is now a problem? This people Sha! Reminds me so much of some people Sha!

And if there be a ground collision as a result of a possibly ill-advised parking slot, na the same them go talk!

When you know people wey no like you, do your very best to avoid them!
