When Nigerian businesses start to operate within international best practices, our companies will be well regarded internationally. Only Nigerians take Air Peace seriously mainly because it’s all we have. I don’t blame the Canadians because if I were Canada, I would rather put my citizens on an Ethiopian airlines flight that has been in existence for decades with a good record than a cowboy operation floated by ex militants with no demonstrable record in aviation to launder ill gotten gains. 2 Likes |

obailala:It's most likely to do with the fraud case. I believe there are still some funds (millions of dollars) belonging to AirPeace that was seized by the Canadian government on request from the USA. Has AirPeace abandoned the funds in the banks? 1 Like 1 Share |

salford1:Whatever issue they (Canada) they have with the man shouldn't be a reason for them to stop a commercial flight into their country. With a single signature from someone in authority, whatever personal case they have with the individual (Onyeama) can be overlooked to ensure stranded citizens are evacuated. By the way, the excuse they even cited was 'safety.' Finally, it's all in the hands of the Nigerian government; a serious Nigerian government can easily arm-twist them to reconsider their arrogance. 1 Like |

ijustdey: I can deduce that Canadian Embassy has 'interest' in Ethiopia Airline. What I couldn't deduce is why they chose to refer to 'safety concerns' when it most likely a matter of interest. And they had to push our Federal Government of Nigeria to the point of acceding to this? Economic politics is a dirty politics. 1 Like 2 Shares |

isthatso: Take it easy. Ethiopia Airlines has history of plane crash. Are you aware of that? Are you also aware that Air Peace do not have history of plane crash or any similar incidents the should warrant any embersy talking of it as air security risk? Do you join Canadian embersy to play economic politics against Nigeria? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Okiibe: what does that have to do with anything? British Airways, Air Canada, Klm, Delta, American, Emirates, Lufthansa, United etc all have a history of crashes. Even Air peace has had a crash landing but did not suffer a hull loss or any deaths......Crashes happen! If you have a large enough fleet and/or are around long enough you will have a crash. That does not mean you are not a well run airline. This is not economic politics, stop being sentimental. Ethiopian Airlines have been around for 70 years. Air Peace does not have such a pedigree!!! if you want to drive your children from Lagos to kano will you trust them in the hands of a driver who just collected his license over one who has been driving for over 20 years and knows the road? There is nothing unusual for Canada going for Ethipian Airlines instead of Air Peace.Ethiopian Airlines is the largest Airline in Africa, it is the same size as the next 2 largest combined (Egypt Air and Royal AIr Maroc. It is 3 times bigger than South African Airlines and 6 times bigger than Air Peace. We have been humbled with all our "Giant of Africa" chest beating and nonsense. If we dont want to feel insulted, we should fix our shit!!! 2 Likes |

Wiseandtrue: Some of you either lack common sense or just too gullible to understand basic explanation. It is the right of the Canadian govt to determine who and who can fly into it's territory. Air Peace has never been granted any permission to fly into Canada whereas Ethiopia Airlines have been flying into Canada Airspace even before the Corona pandemic. If the Canadian govt finally refused to change their thinking and finally said no to Air Peace for whatever reason, instead of brainwashed retards to blame the Canadian govt they will rather find some illogical and irrational motive to blame the Buhari. At the end of the day, the Nigerian govt has good intention by engaging Air Peace but the final approval comes down to the Canadian govt. Ethiopian Airline is already allowed to fly to Nigeria and Nigeria can also fly to Ethiopia, we have no such agreement with Canada. You need to have an open air agreement with any govt before your airline can fly into their country. Canada could have made an exception on humanitarian ground, but that's up to them. The Nigerian govt cannot force them to do that. Canada wants to use Ethiopian Airline simply because they already have landing rights in both Canada and Nigeria even before Corona. Some people need to buy or borrow some common sense. 9 Likes 4 Shares |

obailala:Safety concern is a blanket term that encompasses a lot of meaning. Money laundering is a threat to global safety and security. It's a simplistic way of reasoning to assume safety was only referring to air crash as assumed by many posters on this thread. 4 Likes |

What safety concerns were raised regarding Air Peace? They should fix whatever the safety concerns are for the sake of next time, so they can have the necessary authorisation to fly Canada And I dont understand why this thread suddenly became a tribal thing, or the blame on the Nigerian government that Canada didnt issue a pass to Air Peace . At least we all supported Nigeria when they dealt with a foreign airline supposed to be doing humanitarian flights but instead did a commercial one some days ago |

YourbaAreSlaves: Most Nigerians are just sentimental and just make noise without anything to back up their foolishness. If you behave like an slowpoke, the world will treat you like one. This is not a tribal thing. Most Airline send their worst planes to Nigeria because nobody respects Nigerians because of the way we conduct our affairs. if you get on a BA flight to London and then get on a BA flight from London elsewhere, you will tear your passport with shame, similar with the nonsense planes Delta send to Nigeria. Air Peace as at today does not have a single new plane in active service I challenge you to prove me wrong. Further facts on Air peace: The average age of an airpeace plane is 21 years, the average age of an Ethiopian Airlines plane is 6 years The average age of an airpeace 737 is 23 years, their newest is 20 years old. Most of the Embraer and 737 in Airpeace fleet are over over 25 years old. The older a plane, the more maintenance is required and airplane maintenance costs are not cheap that is why they were retired in the 1st place...most of the planes in their fleet had exceeded either economic useful life in reputable Airlines. The problem with maintenance is that it is very expensive and Nigerians like to cut corners. That is why I told someone I will NEVER get on an Air peace plane. The average age of the Air peace planes used for transatlantic flights (boeing 777) is 18 years old, they are mostly ex Emirates planes. they have 3nos 777 planes, 18 years, 15 years and 22years old. Ethiopian has 20 777s with an average age of 5.5 years Ethipian Airlines' oldest 737 is newer than Air peace's newest 737. Ethiopian Airlines has 21 active Boeing 787s average age 4.4 yrs, 14 A350s average age 2.2yrs which are the latest widebody composite body twin engine planes and Air peace has none still using old 777s condemned by Emirates Airlines. Ethi Try not to be a typical Nigerian talking and chest beating and do your research....so you dont come to a gun fight with a toy pistol and end up humiliated like Air Peace!!! Next time, do some research before excreting from your mouth and stinking up the place!! https://www.airfleets.net/ageflotte/Ethiopian%20Airlines.htm https://www.airfleets.net/ageflotte/Air%20Peace.htm 4 Likes |
