Chairman of Air Peace, Allen Onyema has slammed what he called a “targeted campaign” to damage the airline’s reputation.
Speaking to journalists in Lagos on Wednesday, Onyema said, “Nigerians should jettison this pull-him-down syndrome. Both government agencies and citizens must stop trying to destroy their own.”
He warned that destroying local businesses harms the country “If you destroy any indigenous business that provides massive job opportunities, you don’t know where the next suicide bomber, armed robber, or kidnapper will come from.”
This comes few days after a check-in row between the airline and former Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, at Lagos airport.
“We demand to be applauded. We demand to be appreciated by our country,”
On a good note, Onyema announced that Air Peace has secured flight slots at London’s Heathrow Airport and will begin Abuja-to-London flights from October 26.
“Our daily flights to London are going well. Come October 26, we start Abuja-London. The British authorities have granted Air Peace Heathrow.
“That is a testament to their belief in what we are doing,” he said.
The Air Peace thanked the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo and President Bola Tinubu for supporting the airline’s international growth.
