AirPeace might need to start cutting down on its quality of service. These guys have very very very deep pockets. They can afford to take a loss on that route for a few years while getting that money from other routes they fly to from a different country.

If the route is too hot for Air peace, it might make sense to ditch the route for now

It's good we have Airpeace competing with the foreign airlines.

But Airpeace should man up and stop all this victimhood.

Spot on!
Air peace should brace up instead of this threat they are giving Nigerians.
If you allow this you pay 20times over!
Ethiopia is at war! Don't stay for 16hours!

If Air peace want to hear the truth they should brace of for real competition. From price to quality of services!
Don't be surprised if the other airlines start serving Nigerian food on board! Anything to entice and woo customer ( Nigerians) is allowed and the competition will only get stiffer.
Air peace has the advantage of 6hrs, they should build on this with the quality of service and quality of aircraft.
Also I feel if they don't want to reduce price they should bring about some promotions that encourages frequent flyers some discount.
This is marketing! And marketing is war! No dulling

The airliners are competitors not enemies. There are several ways Air peace could have gone about it.

Those foreign airlines also have a way of reaching out to each other. How did all of them just dropped their price if not that they might have consulted each other

Their government support.

The government needs to find a way to step in to help.

Either we also flood the market with multiple Nigeria airlines flying that route so they too can gang up, or government find a way to support Airpeace one way or the other.

I’m sure when these foreign airline success and Airpeace run out of capacity to deliver, they will increase the price back and we go back to square one.

You think you are smart but you sound very dumb. Wetin concern government and private airlines like Air Peace? The airlines from those other countries are owned by governments and can afford to run at losses to gain market share. Air Peace cannot do that. Air Peace was very foolish in thinking they could compete with those government owned airlines..

You can’t be opposing National carrier and foreign airlines the same time, pick your battles wisely.

Nigeria cannot afford a national carrier. It is not beans to run an airline business..

President Bola Tinubu will not subsidize ticket for anyone flying to London or anywhere else. If Air Peace can’t appeal to the patriotic sentiments of Nigerians to stick with them irrespective of price, they will be pushed out of the route. There is no two ways about it.

What has patriotic sentiment got to do with this? Only an idiot will fly an airline because of patriotism. Most normal people fly the most affordable airlines.

Alex should increase his price back to the exhorbitant price other airlines were charging. Nigerians especially the ones on Naira land are very foolish and ungrateful people not worth losing your business over.

The government can frustrate the foreign airlines by not giving them their dollars. That's one way to run them out of business or frustrate them like before.

For Nigerian government to gain what? Omo our Nigerian youths are getting dumber and dumber every day sha..

I don't think all these so called foreign airlines can go and misbehave in Niger republic or Burkina Faso the way they are doing in Nigeria.

Minister Keyamo should wake up and slam multi-billion dollas fine on all of them,the ones that can't pay should pack and leave, not as if they are useful like that.

So if Air peace didn't join the international route, the foreign rascals called airlines would have kept on extorting millions from Nigerians using dollar rate as excuse.

Chai I now understand why Buhari called una lazy Nigerian youths. Omo wetin I dey read for this thread so

Okay let’s paint a scenario.

—If foreign airline charges $2k for London route.

—Then Airpeace go to meet them and say, I want to start this route and charge $1k. What do you think will be their response?

They won’t agree and might say, no let’s do $1900 and Airpeace agrees, how does that favor Nigerians?


—Now Airpeace did it to $1k for example and those airline decreased their to $800. So at this point even if they come together to agree on a price, I am sure it will find a middle level of $1500.

Is it not a win win for Nigeria with Airpeace steps?

Trash! You think that’s how business works? How old are you?

Bro, the foreign airlines have been running like a cabal in the Nigeria aviation industry, to break them , one needs to blend along, know their weakness before exploding.

Air peace wasn't patience at all, they just want to do everything gra gra

On whose side are you really? Air peace should have joined them to keep exploiting Nigerians? Your line of thoughts shows you have nothing to do with flying, just to type what you feel without reason.
If you have ever paid 5m for a flight that was supposed to be about 1m, you wouldn’t be spilling rubbish for likes.

You have forgotten he is one of them.
Victimhood is a virtue to them.

If they are granted Biafra today,they will accuse all other African countries one day of ganging up against them,envying them and marginalising them because they are from Israel .

However,MY PRAYERS GO TO ONYEAMA and AIR PEACE.
He will never be priced out if market in sha ALLAH.
HE IS OUR PRIDE!...He should just talk to Festus keyamo,I am sure he will be ready to help.

The Nigerian market has been so lucrative for foreign airlines for so many years, they'll even price at a loss in order to get rid of Airpeace.

Nigerians should keep flying Airpeace.

People should realise that if our economy improve massively in the coming years, Nigeria will become the biggest aviation market in Africa.

Foreign airlines know this so they will play a patient game.

They also know they can afford to make loses on the route because they have deep pockets. Airpeace may mot be able to match them if the prices go too low.

We need like 2 more Nigerian airlines to get into the Lagos - London fray. Local airlines with very deep pockets to challenge the foreign airlines.

Mr Dangote...are you not interested

Abeg, DG is a shylock, he enters airline businesses, he will gangup with the foreign airlines, even instigate them to increase prices.
See, you ought to know by now that fellow is not a proper businessman in terms of competition. He only operates in businesses where he can dominate through political connections. He will never touch the airline industry.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

The headless mobs said Dangote is a thief n not patriotic because he didn't allow them to dictate the price for his diesel.

Mr Allen, try and be patriotic too and drop your price below the foreign airlines. We all should be patriotic after all, you started and they followed you.
