AIR PEACE PRESS STATEMENT

Our attention has been drawn to a video that is generating conversations on social media in which a passenger made some untrue statements about our 8am Lagos-Abuja flight of today, December 15, 2023.

In the video, the passenger said the aircraft was faulty and the pilot was trying to manoeuvre'. This is a false and sensationalised account of what actually happened.

The passengers boarded as scheduled but the Ground Power Unit. GPU, stationed to power the aircraft suddenly became unserviceable. Because the aircraft was not powered, the cabin became hot. Passengers were then asked to disembark to avoid discomfort in the cabin before a serviceable GPU was deployed to power the aircraft, which later departed and is operating other flights rostered for it.

While we empathise with the passengers for the resulting inconveniences, we seriously object to comments that call into question the safety of the aircraft.

Air Peace is fully compliant with all the established safety standards and cannot compromise in this regard.

It is, therefore, shocking and misleading to say the pilot was 'manoeuvring' and the aircraft was faulty. This is an unfounded statement and we urge members of the public to disregard the post.

Air Peace

The passenger wey make the video go dey ashamed now. If Airpeace na wicked company, na to sue the passenger. And you know what? Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

Every small thing, people don make video post. E dey help most times. But e dey flop sometimes.

Do you know why I believe Airpeace? If GPU was not the problem, the airport authority will not let Airpeace blame GPU because a false blame on the airport GPU means a defamation to the airport authority. So, the passenger intended to cast Airpeace but ended up casting the airport authority.

This issue wasn't even airpeace fault sef,

EG_the GPU na like fuel pump for filling station, if the fuel pump get fault den you can't refuel to power your motor

Some Nigerians with their oversabi beer parlour analysis, everybody wan trend online to the extent that no due process is followed to ask questions about events.

If airpeace sue this one for defamation now, hope say he go come defend himself and bring evidence backing what he said, talk no dey cheap like dat lol cos what you say can save or kill someone.

Now that this thing have happened, I know that some sadwesters skull miners will start spewing rubbish out of that mouth they use to eat algae soup. Haters of Igbo people, but God pass una.

BTW everything in Nigeria is tribalized since the emergenc of APC

Noted.

Ok. We hear una

A

The said passenger is a miscreant. Tell us his name. He is from Ogbomosho. Propaganda na dia work

God Abeg oh!

Good explanation

Just look at mumu talk

That's like a bank saying their Generator wasn't working and they ask customers to go out because of heat for 2 hours without apologies

Or Uber and Taxify Driver you paid to drive you delayed you for 2 hours without apologies, and still went on to say he was fixing his AC

And to come back after 2 hours under the sun

Very stupid people are are still supporting Airpeace on this thread

#50k to #100k ticket

.

D GPU is not part of the plane

The aircraft itself may not be faulty. The statement indicates an issue with the external power source (the Ground Power Unit) used when the aircraft is on the ground. It doesn't necessarily imply a problem with the aircraft's own systems; rather, it suggests a disruption in the availability of external power, which could affect various ground operations or preparations.

What should we say now?

Did he even ask questions before speculating what happened?

Judolisco:
U said its not faulty... Then went ahead to explain that it's faulty but has been taken care of

Go and read the response again and this time slowly. It wasn't about the aircraft but the Ground Power Unit. GPU,

Where is Air Nigeria

Giant of Africa!!! Not even one national carrier 🫣😑😑

The passenger wey make the video go dey ashamed now.

What the passenger said wasn't far from the truth. So you expected Airpeace to come out to say yes,that the aircraft was actually faulty right? Even a mad man won't do such to his business...

The said passenger must be an affonja miscreant, spreading rascality.

Sometimes we need to explain things in simple terms so that lay people like us will not be talking gibberish

Very media loose generation! Every small thing pepo don do video dey post everywhere online... Even their life and family secrets and many other things wey soppose dey hidden/unpublicized for their own very good.

Now to Air Peace, if the plane can not take off it is due to a fault. Thank for telling us the faulty take off process was minor, and that it was fixed.

aircraft not faulty, but GPU was unserviceable. At the end there was an issue that required you guys attention to be fixed and was fixed. So which one be all this denial tactics.

This one na miscreant from Ogbomosho

If the AC in my car runs out of gas, does it mean my car is faulty and cannot move?
