What have they achieved in their states?

Can you tell me any region that scores above the South East in all Human development indices?

Show working please.

If they are actually doing well in their states, I congratulate you guys then.

I'm not for any region. I just want the best. Cheers

This is prudence in governance in my own state. Has this ever happened in any state in Nigeria's history?

The newly acquired USED aircraft painted with Air Peace livery is a Boeing 737-200, dating back to the early 1980's, and NOT a much newer Boeing 777-200, whose picture I added here for comparison.

You don't need to sound dumb... This is a great news for Nigeria, Nigerians, and community of people who use flights for their journey.

See them, bitter son of....

Nigeria would have developed without the fulanis. They are taking the country back to BC and this is 2018 AD

Cooly100:
Thank God for Air peace...

I just pray that Nigeria factor will not come in to destroy what they are building...

I just hope one bank or EFCC will not creep from no where to kill this laudable venture.

Nigeria’s leading carrier, Air Peace on Friday set a new record with the arrival of its newly acquired Boeing B777-200 aircraft, becoming the first and only Nigerian airline to procure and register the brand of airliner in the country.

the Nigerian factor will surely creep in starting from the recruitment process which will surely be a paddy paddy thing. just wait...

efesodje:
It really doesn't matter. Planes are not like cars. A well maintained 20 or 30 year old plane will fly just as good as a brand new one. That's perfect engineering for you

The 777-200 has a seating capacity of 300-400 passengers and is used by first class airlines like Emirates and Air France. I believe Air Peace will use this for long haul flights. Built in 1994 this is a reasonably new plane by African standards.

Kudos to Air Peace. I am proud of them

Craze dey do you. A 24years old plane in reasonably new. Are you smoking weed or something. Arik bought brand new planes for goodness sake. Can you compare a black & white TV built in 1994 to a 2015 LED TV? An aircraft of 94 technology is not good.

Guy. Stop this ethnic rubbish. You expose the igbo tribe to insults and make enemies for our business men. Stop your fullishness.

You can't talk without abusing abi? You want make I pass through your phone come give you knock abi?

Can you show me the receipt for the Arik purchase showing they were bought brand new? Abi you don go smoke expired weed again?

geekybabe:
Your processes and logistics need to improve too. It's not enough to keep acquiring planes.
Imagine processing a refund for almost 2months.
Not to even talk of how crappy their site can be on mobile. Coupled with d fact that they use a fidelity bank payment gateway, with 2 out of evry 3 transactions failing.

If your processes don't improve, you r gonna be back at square 1 just like arik. Your customers should be able to do business with you with ease. Dat simple.

Airpeace Online payment gateway works just fine for me.
Every payment I initiated were successfully processed.
You can even check-in online.

With their brand new aircrafts, highly professional crew and very high safety standards, Airpeace is the much needed fresh air in the Nigerian aviation industry.

If you dont know that Arik bought new planes, then there is no point discussing with you.

Oblitz:
nice one Air Peace

hope there is no affiliation between Air peace and Peace mass transit


check my signature and be blessed

The affiliation is more with Mama Peace and the Jonathans

@Op, what you have in your picture is a small 737 and not a wide bodied 777.

Please don't get me started. About d many times payment fails and you have to go and complete your booking at the airport. Or the fact that they don't update their website with needed info. I booked a flight (los - jar) only for me to get to the airport and discover they have not flown that route in 2 weeks. Yet customers kept booking and they didn't put any disclaimers.

I fly air peace a lot and I have worked in the travel industry. They try. But expanding the business means they shud be doing much more.

Fidelity payment gateway is crappy sorry to say. There are other better and well integrated gateways they could use. If 20 pple are trying to pay on at site at once that gateway will fail with the way it is. Buy aircrafts, but most importantly air peace needs to get better at their logistics and processes.

Not wanting to sound rude but we Nigerians are a very gullible bunch. Have you ever flown in a brand new plane before? Is it not one of the so called brand new A340-500 I flew from Lagos to Joburg in 2014 that did not have an in-flight entertainment system, with torn seats in a so called new plane?

The only new planes Arik bought were those tiny Hawker and Bombardier jets they use for their shorter routes and that was years ago at launch.

You sounded rude but i will pardon you. Anyway you admit that Arik bought new bombardier jets. How many has Air peace bought for even shorter route. Air safety is of greatest importance. Besides why did Emirates sell the aircraft in the first place when they are not broke. Anyway wetin concern me?

No hard feelings bro I apologise if I sounded rude but na you first abuse me. Lets just pray Air Peace improves on their maintenance culture so they don't tow the lines of Arik. Arik actually started good at inception but as is the case- the Nigerian I don't care attitude crept in and see where it is today.

I don't know why poor people reasons so poor and with so much bitterness, a boy whose family can't afford aircraft tyres is here writing rubbish all over the thread to discredit hardworking man that can feed your genera.tion till they delete from earth, If I may ask how is Arik fairing now

Air Peace & Arik - My preferred two love airline carriers.

dongc:
kudos to them...good to know that the aircraft is almost 20 years..former emirate aircraft..they sell old planes to us..

I remember my argument with a staff of that airline who was making a pitch on patronising Air Peace. He said they will buy a new B777, I told him that you dont buy that kind of plane but lease them from GECAS, ILFC or the likes. Now that chap has provoked you to blow the breeze off the new plane story, I hope Air Peace will do the necessary disclosure.

tete7000:
That shows you how difficult Nigerian business environment is. We have to give kudos to anyone venturing into it at all. At least, they make bold effort to provide jobs for few Nigerians and tell the world we are not too horrible to be totally incapable of doing something for ourselves.

Bros, buying an over 19 years old aircraft from a busy airline with our peculiar reputation on maintaince, is a horrible signal of our showmanship. Novus Aviations are the winner here.

Airlines abroad will probably never have to put down any of their direct money to buy planes, it all goes through a bank financing.

Even Emirate who previously operated the plane only leased it. If only our banks had lower interest rate this airline could approach a bank to finance the deal.

Imagine Innocent VS GTB where initial business loan was at about 36% . Interest rate in many western countries is at 0.5 %. - 3%.

I don't blame the bank entirely , Nigerian business men can be irresponsible. See Aero, Arik, despite government patronage, the ran the business down, simply forget the loan from banks ought to be repaid.

Then imagine where mobile telecom company is going bust . Only in naija.

Oando is in similar situation

Globacom unable to renew their license in benin republic. Only God know what their health is in Nigeria.

I won't be surprise if NNPC declares Bankrupt tomorrow. Or CBN.

Thunder fire you useless illiterate there. Go and learn common spelling first. If he was a bad person you likes would be the first to call his state.

Allen Onyema the owner of AirPeace is from ANAMBRA STATE. Deal with it.

Buy one aircraft nor go let person rest again? Ethiopian wen de buy planes like say na age gets bread dem de buy nor de make all this kain noise sef

You sabi d plane wey B777 bi? Even for European airline company to buy one na big deal talkless of naija airline company affording one.B777 na big bros (luxury plane) among other classes of boeing grp..i doubt Ethiopia get two B777 in thier fleets of hundreds B737,B747,B767 etc.after B777 ,na only one plane luxury pass am(B787) in the whole B family

Is this not Nigeria again? Just wait little the Nigerian factor will kill this laudable dream, either through one dangerous government policy, or corruption or vested interest. If they want to stay long in the business let them just look for a foreign airliner to manage it like a foreign airline service operating in and out of Nigeria otherwise believe me what happened to Arik Air will repeat itself.

buygala:
so air peace bought a plane which is extremely close to the end of its average life expectancy ....


And in your previous comment you said a 20 or 30 year old plane will fly like new

a plane in the twilight of its life expectancy will fly like new....seriously?

Your getting it wrong. He meant the plane was first manufactured in 1994. Till date the plane is still being manufactured.. I'm very sure this particular one was built in 2017 coz its brand new.
