I wish this kind of competition will happen in other sectors in this country especially food supply and fuel...

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[/quote]

You don’t sound reasonably
Why support evil against ur own people
So airpeace should join the wrong doings and not be a solution

Who do black man this thing
Gosh 🤦‍♂️

Oga it's business compete or fold
no Chinese man will ever say this to a Chinese owned airline, even if it is privately owned. Not even an American, that is from the most capitalist country in the world will say this to a company owned by a fellow citizen, especially when the competition is against other nations or nationalities. They protect their own no matter what. No sane or serious country will ever allow a valuable company such as air peace get out-competed by companies from another country, even if the air peace is privately owned.

Government can not get involved ... or Air Peace will see hell abroad. The most they can do is give a much better in-flight service to offset the price difference. Try to be like Emirates... serve a much better and local inflight meals etc. Consult with the FG to have a hastle free check in and check out experience with Immigration .... have a better Customer Service desk and I'm sure they wouldn't have to worry about the price war ... their flights will all be filled.

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 an airline can just wake up and start flying to another country without the latter's approval? You don't know how aviation works.

I know your type, who don't even know when his country is facing issues because of hypocrisy. Your type should be kept in the abyss.

With idiots like you around, always looking at issues through the prism of tribalism, it's just a matter of time before Airpeace goes under! Nigeria will not prevent foreigners from doing business here simply because the Igbo don't like it! If Airpeace can't cope with the rising competition in the industry, its management can diversify into something else - making gala wouldn't be a bad idea!

Before you talk about putting anyone in the abyss, I hope you know that the shackles are still hanging around your enslaved necks?!

Maybe you don't know how the $3,500 bond imposed by the UK government on Nigerian inbound travellers under Captain Demuren's tenure as Head of NCAA was shelved. Demuren showed them shege. Government can and should get involved when the need arises.

Travellers will lose in the long run because the price will go up when air peace is priced out of the market.

Air peace was established to help Nigerians in addition to making profits.
If Nigerians are wise in anyway, they would have bigot those that extorted us. If a Nigerian established this airline in another country, they would be patrotic to their local carriers. But we, tribalism and religious bigotry would not allow us to have sense for once.
We pull and kill anyone and anything from other tribe or religion that tends to rise above the ground level.

How has that stopped them from progressing? Against all odds, your shackle could not hold them back and you still depend on their businesses everyday. The foolish one is not difficult to spot because you have shown the entire attributes of a foolish being. That has been your prayer. Just imagine charcoal calling kettle black. Your foolishness has no remedy.

What Air peace and Onyeama should do is copy what Nigerian Airways did back in the 90s
and Double the luggage allowance

Nigerians will buy your tickets over foreign Airlines for the sake of the luggage allowance alone

Ordinary air-hostess uniform that the bigots should have used as a PR scheme to cajole nigerians into thinking/believing that it is a pseudo-nigerian carrier, they refused and made a fuss about it.

Incentives, top notch services, govt patronage and the best of all, enabling environment for all is what is required for everybody's success irrespective.

When Nitel held Nigeria to ransom, MTN and Econet came to the rescue, when Glo entered with per/second billing into the fray, the parasitism of both MTN and Econet became history, now Nigerians have choices to make.

Just imagine paying 2m for a one-way ticket to UK, nerd and parasitic. Let there be price war amongst them, those with extra edge will scale through. Nigerians should patronise Air peace, it's a son of the soil thing......let us and govt do less foreign patronage.

The only way they can do so meaningfully is by subsidising tickets.

That'll be politically impossible.

You can't deny Okada man fuel subsidy and turn round to subsidise millionaires travelling abroad.

This is just so true and yet frustrating for Nigeria.
But let me ask a JJC question.

Since we all can guess what the foreign airlines are up to, Is it possible for government to peg a price that tickets cannot go below? Air peace fare can be used as the benchmark.

We need to find a way to protect our own, abeg
Re: Foreign Airlines Are Underpricing Us - Alex Onyema by Litmus: 11:16am On Apr 10
I never deliberately shop or patronise Indian owned businesses irsipective of how comparatively cost effective. In areas of UK where there are Nigerian or black owned businesses in competition, I patronise the Nigerians, Africans or Caribbean, often at higher prices.

If you are Nigerian get some sense and be deciplined. Begin to think long-term and collectively not just about your immediate gratification and personal gain. This is year 10/04/ 2024 - variously termed the Computer, Information, Quantum, Tech, Crypto or AI age. We have no excuse being ignorant of world history and our place in it as people of Africa heritage.We generally know why we are underdogs - 2 days ago I read that members of Nigeria's junior football team were denied visas to attend a tournament in Spain . Imagine the crass arrogance. Yet we bare some blame due to continually tolerating the rubbish dished to us by foreign scumbags because we generally own relatively less of the degeneracy valued by the world.

Nigerians should patronise Air Peace because it is Nigerian owned even setting aside knowledge of what the other airlines are up to financially and how, in living memory, they extorted Nigerians when they owned what we wanted and we had no other options.

I wonder why people are making a fuse out of this pricing thing. As far back as January, while traveling to Paris, I got a flight with a stopover in London. The low prices have always been there so those who want to fly direct should stop making noise as if the low prices for flights with stopovers is new. Moreover, the government has aided the release of trapped funds so the prices were expected to drop regardless.

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


If Dangote steps in now , same Nigerians ( especially on nairaland) will cry monopoly so leave dangote out of it pls , we have other big Nigerians who can step in , bet9ja founder is the owner of valujet, I think it's time he stops playing domestic flights and go international, he has the funds to match the foreign airlines toe to toe.

I've read the comm3nts here and It goes a long way of telling who the people of Nigeria really are.
You are on ur own...No wonder nobody is patriotic...patriotism cone backfiring in Nigeria.
I just pity Peter obi in all he does because if him get broke dem go tell am we send u? That's a typical Nigerian language andbits written all over the comments here.
If u are fighting for justice in Nigeria they will tell u ur own too much.
This man opened our eyes to see the injustice done on Nigerians that to d extent ordinary Ghana fly to UK at very cheap rate compared with Nigeria with her high market volume.
Instead of Nigerians to be angry with foreign airlines for extorting us all this while they are here bashing Airpeace. Instead of Nigerians thinking critically about what changed that someone who sold his goods at 1k suddenly came down to 300 naira?
U see Nigeria eee it will be hard for people to be patriotic and it doesn't help the Nation.
