Nope.

It was given, but Air Peace rejected.

That you're just being aware now doesn't mean it's not been there.

Try to follow the story very well.

Air Peace started with Sharjah before the pandemic.

At some point, they started using Dubai, by abandoning Sharjah. While they left, Sharjah allocated slots to other airlines.

Air peace returned and Sharjah says, while you're away, things have changed. Take one here and take two in other locations.

Air Peace rejected and reported to Minister and NCAA. The Minister chose to stand with Air Peace, hence retaliated.

That's the Genesis
[b]FACTS DON’T LIE.

Air Peace has only operated flights into Sharjah Airport alone. The letter went further to deliberately damage our perception in the eyes of the unsuspecting public by stating “it would be unreasonable for an airline to expect any airport to maintain their slots when they ceased operating at that airport”!
FACTS DONT LIE.
Sir, Air Peace has never been given slots at the Dubai International Airport. Slot availability was used to deny us operating from that popular airport as it was our first choice.
It was the politics of slot unavailability that did not allow us to operate into Dubai Airport directly. The lack of flight slot angle forced us to approach the Sharjah Airport as a last resort. We were welcomed by the government and people of Sharjah.

While we were denied slots in their most important airport, the Dubai Airport, Emirates has always enjoyed red carpet treatment in Nigeria where they were given our most important airports- Lagos and Abuja where they operate a total of 21 flights weekly!

We only asked for three flights weekly at the Sharjah Airport and we got same and started operations on the 5th of July, 2019 until Covid-19 lockdowns in 2020. Contrary to the letter, Air Peace never ceased operating from Sharjah International Airport since we started in July 2019.
We only stopped when every other airline was forced to stop normal scheduled flight operations as a result of the Covid-19 lockdowns that permitted only evacuation flights.[/b]

We now have two versions

Air Peace says it black
The head of the Civil Aviation Authority in UAE says it's White

More investigations needed.

During Repatriation, I guess Air Peace landed in Dubai to pick Nigerians home. This may be what the UAE man is referring to.

It's good that Air Peace rejected it.

You should be the one who should "try to follow the story very well". Air Peace never stated that they shifted to Dubai in their letter. Rather, they stopped operations during the pandemic and on resumption the UAE started this rubbish.

But come to think of it.

Air Peace can take one slot in Sharjah and take the other two at Ajman.

Ajman to Dubai is like 30-45mins.

Most Northerners/Southerners come into Lagos, then visit MMA2 to board local flights to their final destinations.

UAE has better transportation infrastructure and good buses that can take people from one Emirate to the other

May be not for long, but they did.

The man that wrote the letter is the head of all Airports in UAE and just as our NCAA here monitors all landing and take off at all Airports in Nigeria, the man does same in UAE.

According the letter from Airpeace, they never got the DXB slot, that’s why the took up the slot at Sharjah.

Okay. Then you should know that this is INTIMIDATION. They take us for granted and I wouldn't blame them because our leaders made it happen. And I'm fully in support of this they're trying to correct.

21 flight x 250 seats = 5250 passengers.

If profit per head is $50
Then
5250x50=262,500 dollars per week.

Thieves.

The next row of agreement is equal slot and time at each end.


Aswear let it be 3-3 slot or 21-21 slot they are very greedy.

You can't compare the distance of MMAI & MMA2 to the distance between Sharjar, Ajman or DXB its like comparing the distance between your house and the grocery store your street & juxtaposing it with another man who lives in the outskirt of town & would have to drive for 30minutes into town to do shopping. This is purely economic sabotage, imagine small UAE, Nigerians are the highest investors in Dubai leading other African and latin American nations... In terms of GDR we all know tourism is a major source in Dubai and Nigerians make up 5 in every 10 person who has or intends to go to UAE for tourism in Africa, So we deserve to be accorded some more respect.

Why.should they decide which the.airport air peace should operate on.while they operate in all.our all our airport. Isn't that discrimination ? The best solution is that which brings fairness . That means if they don't want air peace to have slot in dubai ...then they should not be given.slot.at lagos Airport. If the still.say air peace can't get a slot.in their second busiest airport, then we should not give them.slot at Abuja airport ..

On whose account will the money be billed.

For instance, you want to travel from Abuja to Lagos. One bus goes straight to Lagos while another bus stops at ogun state before you take another bus to lagos. Which of the two buses will you board?

I'm I am doing local travel, it's Air Peace or Arik for me. I don't want stories.

But when traveling abroad, it's either Emirates, Virgin, Qatar or Turkish Airline.

We use our money to buy comfort and peace of mind
Air peace have the same comfort on the same kind of airplanes and even more with Nigeria cousine, without sounding tribal Igbos don't lower standards in business if they are competing with foreigners, they go the extra length to make more money and that's the problem Emirates is having.
