Nigeria's Air Peace placed an order for 10 new Boeing 737 Max 8 aircrafts in October 2018.

However, due to the recent crash of a Lion Air plane and an Ethiopian Airways plane, some Nigerians have called for a boycot of Air Peace because the two crahses involved Boeing 737 Max 8 aircrafts.


Air Peace has now clarified that it is yet to take delivery of the aircraft that it ordered because they are still being manufactured in the United States.

Read their statement below.

Infact i have nothing to comment, just want to be the FTC,

All thanks to

Aitel network

D holosho of last night

Mama Ochuko for d nice meal

Seun for this platform to be stupid sometimes

And to all who wish to be FTC only for me to overpower them

Ok

Which one I don fly before

Have never heard of air mishap in our Local airline(Witchcraft air) headquartered in Benin.
Let embrace our own, fly witchcraft air... Lolz...

Lool, interesting

Ok

Air peace doesn't want to go outta business

A whole bunch of of nations have effectively banned and grounded Boeing 737 max 8 from flying in their air spaces.

Thats the kind of aircraft we need in Nigeria to reduce our population

All 737s should be pulled until further notice and thorough investigation tbh

They should go ahead with the order. People just don't have sense, the aircrafts they ordered are brand new, not old models.

i thought they were insensitive . now the beat has changed .

I no even like una before

Nigerians are jus funny in dis country... How many of our airlines can boast of buying brand new aircrafts? Ppl dat have been using leaky aircrafts and century old aircrafts for business and den becos of a plane crash dey are copying others in putting out a statement on d aircraft... Wetin concern agbero with overload

See Nigerians!

A particular leader failed Nigeria once during his military misadministration and you people still voted for him as a democratic president...he failed again and you people still gave him second tenure...

Two isolated air incidents and the same people are condemning Air Peace!

Good statement.

We also know that some percentages of the deposited money would be lost in the event that the order is cancelled and we know how shrewd our banks are.

True, it is premature to take decisions on the Boeing since investigations have barely started to ascertain the complicity of the model in the crash.

Our hearts are with the bereaved. (A very important part the Statement missed out)

Funny Nigerians , as if air peace can use a brand new plane for local flights

A rock has been thrown up
time to save your head air peace, I support u on this one. who them wan fall e business

The aircrafts that crashed were new too and had only been in commercial use since 2017

it's old, Boeing don't produce it again,
they will just do re touching of old one and sell to a smaller airline.

no Nigeria airline can afford 10 brand new Boeing passenger aircraft

nincompoop

new products with manufacturer defect are worse than old products that has been tested over years.

I'm quite sure you and I don't know better than those who would certify it's worthiness before releasing it for use this time around. Don't you think?
