Poor Treatment Of Nigerians By Foreign Airlines No More Acceptable — CEO Air Peace


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grjhaUNNafc

The chairman/Chief Executive Officer, CEO of Air Peace, Chief Allen Onyema has lamented the poor treatment of Nigerian air passengers by foreign airlines, saying it is indefensible and as such must stop.

While reacting to allegations that local airlines are in support of government's decision to withhold ticket proceeds accrued to foreign airlines, Chief Onyema wondered why Nigerians have been paying more than any other country for commensurate miles compared to other nations, stressing that people in South Africa are paying less for nine hours trip than Nigerians pay for six hours trip.

While appearing before a committee of the House of Representatives on Wednesday, Chief Onyema also accused foreign airlines of deliberately increasing their frequencies, a conduit they are using to milk Nigerians dry, yet they deny Nigerian airlines opportunity to fly in their own countries.

"They must collect their trapped funds in Nigeria but how do you explain that someone flying from South Africa nine hours to London is paying less than a Nigerian flying six hours?

"How do you explain that someone flying from London to Las Vegas even now is paying far less, half than what a Nigerian is paying for six hour?" he queried.

While stating that foreign airlines are also members of The International Air Transport Association (IATA), Chief Onyema called on AITA to apply force in persuading Nigerian airlines to freely operate in foreign countries at the capacity of a frequency they can afford without restriction and undue hindrances.

"AITA should use the same venom and force to tell these people that we are qualified. If Air Peace could do 14 hours non-stop flight to China, which we have started, six hours to London is a piece of cake but we are hitting brickwall now and then" he said.

He also recalled with regret how during the COVID-19 evacuation, Air Peace secured landing permit into Heathrow Airport to evacuate over 350 Nigerians, London authorities sent dogs into the aircraft, sniffing its pilots just to discourage the airline from evacuating Nigerian.

Most saddening part of the story according to him is that the authorities in London stopped the airline from conducting an assessment of its aircraft's safety standard as the practice demands before taking off back to Nigeria.

While expressing gratitude to God that nothing happened to the aircraft, he insists that the action violates safety.

He called on Nigerians to stop bad-mouthing the country in the media space in defence of foreign airline, saying it does not demonstrate patriotism.

We won't stop abeg

Anytime i travel back to Nigeria it's a big problem because getting a Nigerian flight that goes to Nigeria is a problem. So other airlines take advantage of that. Imagine Tanzania has an airline, rwanda, kenya, angola all have airlines except Nigeria. Shameless id1ots

More grease to your penis sir
We support all that you're doing

They must collect their trapped funds in Nigeria but how do you explain that someone flying from South Africa nine hours to London is paying less than a Nigerian flying six hours?
"How do you explain that someone flying from London to Las Vegas even now is paying far less, half than what a Nigerian is paying for six hour?" he queried.

This makes Good sense.
Onyema Allen has always been a guy that is wise and intelligent.
We concur to this.


(Seun Osewa, take note!)
Meanwhile,
Let's hear from the horse's mouth....


The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Air Peace Airlines, Allen Onyema, says it is untrue to say that President Muhammadu Buhari does not like the Igbos.

Onyema defended his viewpoint on Saturday on the grounds that his airline had hugely benefited from the current administration.

I’m a beneficiary of Buhari’s kindness to Igbos – Air Peace boss

“I thank God for our President, Muhammadu Buhari, it is very untrue that he does not like the Igbo.
Without me being a member of his party, or any party, I am a beneficiary of his support for indigenous businesses.

“The Federal Government of Nigeria has given me destinations they have never given anybody, yet I am an Igbo man, from Anambra,” Onyema said on an interview with Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS).

Furthermore, he stressed that people should not read negative meanings to the good works of the Buhari administration.

“I don’t know anybody, I don’t have any godfather, President Buhari through his minister, Hadi Sirika, has given me China, London, Portugal, the entire Europe, United States and India.
“He’s even given me Jedda, and I’m not a Muslim; the government has given me about twenty destinations to fly to.”

He added that;
“The President wants equal economic development everywhere.”


These are the Great and True Igbo men true igbos listen to.

A Pan-Nigerian per excellence.

Great man who loves his country.

We need rugged businessmen like this.

Government should support them and they will thrive.

Alright.

But it's by action and not word.

This man seems to be more concerned about Nigerians in diaspora than Buhari and Abike Dabiri combined. Just make Air Peace our National Carrier once and for all instead of spending a ridiculous amount of money starting a new one from scratch!

The one air peace dey do nko

this same airline that is criticizing others has the worst customer service ever in the industry.

But what is realy wrong with you kids here?!
You believe you can just type any rubbish and nonsense on social media?
Incoherent jargons everywhere

It isn't in the talks, he should give then a run for their money by providing top notch services. With that, the actions will speak louder than the noise.

Arik made so much noise. Flying them from New York to Lagos was top notch but the return leg to New York was wrong almost all the time. We experienced delays because they had to wait for the West Africa connecting flights which wasn't applicable with other airlines.

Faux patriotism
Plenty of them in naija

Patriotic Nigerian

The regulators need to stand for the truth and seek the right treatment for Nigerians.

Sure

You have made a reasonable point and management failures lead to the collapse of Arik Lagos to New York flights but these delays are not only subjected to Arik, if you have flying Qatar Airline, you would have experienced delays that are out of this world and Nigerians smile.

Brilliant

the country needs more nationalists

Thisan has a point, but the reason why foreign airlines treat Nigerian passengers badly is because the Nigerian govt. treats its passengers badly at home and abroad.

We don't hear of our govt condemning bad treatment of passengers locally or otherwise.

Good
