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 made a good point but don't forget air peace is not a national carrier....the govt can't go jack about it.....You can flood the market with multiple airlines because lagos to London is not lagos to Abuja...8 hours flying hours is no joke....

Sapasenator:


That is not good bro!

Helinues is not brainless just that he has never been on a plane so it dosen't concern him what happens to our airline industry.

I am surprised he is even contributing for plain matta.

Make we learn not to insult each other and try understand where Helinues is coming from.

Face your trading business

Oga it's business compete or fold

Go and watch his interview on TVC you will understand better

seunmsg:



Government can’t keep subsidizing everything. Air Peace is a private business and they must find a way to survive competition. Arik was flying straight to London Heathrow before they were out-priced by foreign airlines.


The only way Air Peace can survive the price war is to appeal to the sentiments of Nigerians. They must make all Nigerians see Air peace as a national brand that is serving the interest of all Nigerians and whose survival depends on the patronage of Nigerians against harsh foreign competitors.

Sadly, they mismanaged the fallout of their maiden flight by allowing Obidients ethnicize the narrative. The Igbo pushback and the massive insults against Yoruba people because some very few people on twitter suggested that the dressing of the hostess should reflect a united Nigeria identity as against an ethnic group was unnecessary. President Tinubu and Keyamo were not spared in the insult. Now, how will they change the narrative?

Did you expect them to place a gag order on Internet use

helinues:
Toh

Next time, don't start what you can't finish.

Sebi some people dey talk say Air peace consulting other airlines na nonsense.

Oya now. Let the flight fee continues, win win for the travellers

You are a big illiterate.

blacknp:
I thought all the sits on that route had been sold out till September, wetin come be the wailing, abi September 2024 done already reach?

The poor are so myopic

Nigerians should patronize their own. But we are not united. That's our weak point.

cedricksly:
that is not an healthy competition and should not be encouraged.. Because the new company just entered the route, the old ones with enough money will start underpricing far below making profit, just to frustrate the be cat out of the market and then hike up the price again, Afterall the have enough money to sustain the losses incurred for that few months, to force the new cat out if the market. For instant Just like 700k will give a profit margin of 200k, these old airline don't mind going to 400 to 450 coz they know airpeace can't go below the 700 to 600 mark, coz they have to make profit, that is no competition that is sabotage and the aviation minister should encourage it...

Everything you have described sir, is called competition in a capitalist business environment.

Remember when the domestic airlines woke up one morning and decided to increase fares to 250k in some instances? They did this because they had leverage... in international transportation business, every person leverages on their strength.

What airpeace should do is sit down with their business development team, find where they have leverage (or create one) and then utilize it to compete effectively. For example, they can leverage on their domestic capacity and say .. look if you are travelling with us to london and you are in maiduguri, owerri, port Harcourt etc, we can fly you to lagos for free! Innovation is leverage you can use to undercut competition!

mugu..

You didn't hear when he said if they succeed on taking them out.
They will now increase the price ×20 as retaliation.

Demented brain that cant comprehend

ryloy:

There will only be problem when travellers start cancelling their flights for the cheaper airlines . Otherwise, complete the already booked flights and reduce your price to reflect the state of the current market.

ryloy:
Yes, that is how businesses work, Competition is good for Nigerians

another mugu that cant read and comprehend

There is no "Government should do this". U should patronize Air Peace and pay their rate, knowing what these foreign airlines are up to.

Did you have a fight with your wife this morning? Seems like a transferred aggression or something.

IbnB:


Monopoly = singular, cartel = plural

How many business entities were involved again?

Cartel is a group of manufacturers or suppliers coming together to set price or restrict it.

The guy probably thinks that once cartel is mentioned, it's the Columbian drug cartel.

Na you get time to dey educate am

mrvitalis:

I am honestly trying to understand your ignorance. Airpeace has been a wonder image for Nigeria and for Nigerian and he deserve all support he can get from all Nigerians. I really wish to support him if I could.

helinues:

Helinues, I was even defending you by asking the guy not to insult you.

That was obviously a typo but you are right, I am looking to go into trading business. I am on your side na. Haba.

muhammaduyusufu:

Wetin concern Nairaland. Most of his customers on London route probably don't know that something called Nairaland exists.

Not true, people on nairaland get doings ooo lol. I'm on nairaland and I can tell you that I've traveled through that route multiple times. Although not with air peace

helinues:


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

Truly youre evil.
This is same you always shouting nigeria 🇳🇬
But see how you dont mind letting go of a nigerian business because of the foreign ones.
The idea is to run airpeace down, and then the the price will go back up, how does that favour nigerians?
You dont care, because of you wicked hatred.
This is the time nigerians claiming patriotism ; stand for a nigerian thing, everyone should continue patronising airpeace for this move.
If airpeace goes yo consult them first, they will crash the price ahead of airpeace, and the guy wont be able to enter the market at all, dont you just understand or are you intentionally blinded by your constant hatred?

ryloy:

Let us join hands to fly Nigeria

Nigerians should fly Air Peace.....just like we made sure Globacom survived mobile telecom's war back in the days.

So I want them to subsidize you abi ?

Paraman:
The government must find a way to support Air Peace

air peace is flying isiagu as uniform not green white green. May air peace succeed in this battle.

Actions bring consequences - sometimes good, sometimes bad.

You won't go out of the market rather they will be the ones out .

Leo34rf:


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.

So what do you think will happen if the U.k government retaliated and refuse to hand Airpeace their pounds? - DO you know why Emirates left Nigeria? Do you know why Airpeace could not continue ot the UAE even when they had a slot in shariah?

mrvitalis:

Oga it's business compete or fold

You have a valid point but read in btw the lines. Why didn't the foreign airlines reduce the cost before AirPeace came on board. Let's learn to forecast into the future.
My major pain in this country is that the vast number of Nigerians are id!ots and they contaminate the few wise citizens : A case of the 2024 elections.

That's because onyenma does not belong in that class so he should return to his level of local flight

Some people are saying it is business if he can not compete he should fold, this is really sad! You guys don't know what this people are doing to us. If it is possible for them to collect flights fare 450k or 500k why where they charging us 1.5m to 3m to travel while Ghana here that is also the same distance to UK are paying 450k to 500k or 600k to travel?

Now that our own is trying to help our people they want to fold his business and our own people are saying it is okay!!!!!

Haba! If this airline folds these people will use us like football, their fare Wil be x100,

The looters can afford it what about the honest layman?

Let's not let these happen, this is how we support our country to grow and from here other people from the north, south, West who can afford to do same will come out and before you know it we will take over the control of alot of things that will help our country.

Even our own country people are sabotaging this man and his airline, Nigerians when are we going to open our eyes and see reality??

It is not about the bribe money you get in your pocket that will not last you anywhere, you will still go back looking for bribe again and at that time the foreigner has gained control and won't even look at you and you will have to pay that 3m to travel. We are doing this for us, our children born and unborn, our grandchildren and loved ones for God sake!
I am from the north and I don't care who owns what so long as it is helping our nation Nigeria.

Some of us have never been out of the shores of this country to know what is happening to Nigeria.
We use to be the giant of Africa then but even amongst the African countries we are the lowest may be just two countries beneath us.

NIGERIANS WHEN ARE WE GOING TO CHANGE!!!!!!

Why should they

Crying-crying baby.

Coming form same man that increased the price of flying to the South Eastern part of Nigeria during the yuletide period. Smh!

ryloy:

But Mr Allen na business man, he should have envisaged this. Besides if air Peace keeps doing what it's doing now and just hang in there a bit, Nigerians will still choose to fly her. Make your people comfortable flying their own. and as Nigerians, we should keep flying Nigerian as much as possible.

This is what vitalis against onyema

Imagine if helinues has said this, some stupid trolls would have been insulting him...

Are you saying your country is not good enough for this class and it is best we keep slaving for the foreigners?
