Its a good idea he can also wakeup the African airlines with a 'FIVE Star Alliance' type framework that will enable African carriers have passengers interconnectivity on the African continent. That will really smash the Monopoly enjoyed by

Air France
British Airways
Lufthansa

etc etc etc...

Nice submission grin

What was Airpeace expecting ? I'm sure Onyema was not expecting an easy ride of Goat meat peppersoup, Afang soup with Pounded Yam.

There is competition and politics in aviation just like every other business. I expect Airpeace to explore their competitive advantages. Especially linking the London flights with local flights to various domestic Airports in Nigeria. Such that passengers can board from Kano, Abuja, Enugu, Anambra, PH etc with a seamless luggage transfer at Lagos Airport

Not for long. If they succeed in pushing Air Peace out, they'll increase their fare 300% like it used to be. Watch out.

From the article, this is the quote that will save Air Peace:

"According to him, what would save Nigerian carriers was patriotism as well as government support"

The questions are:

1. Are Nigerians patriotic enough?

2. Is Nigeria Government ready to give Air Peace all the support it needs?

Airlines business is not a profitable business . No serious businessman is into aviation business. As said by someone " no top 100 billionaire in the world is into aviation business" it's all fancy and glamour with no profitability or liquidity.

Since it is a very low margin business... volumes and routes are key . That's why having a national carrier is most.

We also need competition in local flights. It is currently too pricey and these guys are cheating customers. How can a flight of less than one hour to the east be #500k during festive season. That is devilish.

Nigerians must patronise Air Peace and help sustain it.

I wonder why foreign airlines will be providing services for our teeming travellers at the detriment of local airlines.

This is outright wickedness. How the hell do you go from almost N2m to N585 and 569 thousand.

To be Honest, Air Peace is Still Pricey. 800,000 Naira for Return Ticket is a Fair Price. Add on Price for front and best Seat, wine and Food should be key ways of Making Money. Merchandise and Deploy Algorithm also to understand customer needs.

They could also introduce points like Avios or skymiles to keep Loyal Customers. Wish them the Very Best but Aviation is a very Dynamic Business.

Not profitable and Richard Branson, one of the richest on earth, continues with Virgin Atlantic? Not profitable and yet airlines were making three things from Nigeria for services to other countries, until Air peace entered the route? Not profitable and the airlines charge such huge amounts to SE airports, reaping citizens using that route? Not profitable, yet airlines like Lufthansa, Air France, Royal Maroc and BA have been in business for uncountable years?

Airlines fail when there is poor management. Airlines fail when they are not able to meet debt repayments, e. g. Laker air in 1981, which failed for their inability to meet the debt obligations. Airlines fail when there is unfair competition from other airlines, as experienced with Bellview and Medview on the same London route. Airlines fail when there is massive corruption and large scale embezzlement, like Nigerian airways. Airlines also fail due to unfair government policies.

As stated earlier, our government can make it easier for citizens by making Air peace pay lesser for aviation fuel. Again, make repatriation of funds difficult for foreign airlines, thereby causing them to lose interest.

Government also must intervene on the local routes, where airlines tell us that passenger pressure is the major cause of high fares to the SE. Airlines, including Air peace are complicit in it.

This foreign airline that made me travel all the way to Cotonou before I could board a flight going to London for 450k
while Nigeria was showing 1.2m to 1.5m that was last year.

I kept on asking why is it like this? The Cotonou airport self is not that busy na we Nigerians come make am busy.. More than half of the plane na Naija full am.

This foreign airline are very wicked,heartless as they said their money was trapped in Nigeria that was why they had to charge Nigerians 3 times what other African countries pay.

Even the Cotonou weh I enter plan from to London na naira I used pay not dollar

Government need to ensure that they are taxed heavily, then reduce tax for airspeace to be able to compete better with them

No airline is trying to undermine AirPeace. Airline business is based on the survival of the leanest. And there is no gang up either against AirPeace either. It happened all the time in any market, for instance in the US, if JetBlue or any of the low cost carrier enter a market, the dominant carrier, say Delta will match the low carrier price to retain their market dominance. If JetBlue can’t survive in the price range for a long term, they will abandon that market and immediately Delta will default to its original price. It is the survival of the fittest.

AirPeace has to find a way to either match the price to retain the market, even with sentiments on their side, customers still want to be sure they are getting better price and of course excellent service. No need to be sentimental and start a blame game or use a gang-up trump card. The airline business is dog eat dog. The traveling public is better for it. Unfortunately, we don’t have that competition within the local market and that’s why a one hour flight is costing over 100k Naira because of lack of competition and where there is competition, the airlines collude to keep the ticket fare high.
