Nigeria’s leading airline, Air Peace, has announced a forthcoming special charter flight to Delhi in India and back. The airline made this known in a news release made available to journalists on Tuesday.
Air Peace disclosed that the flight is scheduled to depart the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos on November 27 and will return the next day.
According to the airline, persons interested in joining the charter flight should contact [email protected], adding that the Economy ticket sells for
$1300 while Business Class goes for $1800.
“Anyone who wishes to be on the flight should make payment immediately. Passengers can also pay in Naira at N478/$1”, the airline said.
Meanwhile the airline’s attention of Air Peace has been drawn to a story published on thenigerialawyer.com which calls into question the safety of our aircraft. The online report attributed statements to a lawyer who boarded Air Peace flight P47121 on November 6, 2020, Abuja-Lagos at 8:45am.
The lawyer alleged that the luggage of some of the passengers were not carried due to ‘weight restriction issues’. We are stating categorically that all our aircraft are safe and airworthy, and it is a globally accepted fact that every aircraft has a weight limit.
For the flight in question, we did not carry all the luggage because the aircraft had reached its maximum weight capacity. It would have been unsafe and dangerous to do otherwise. We did the right thing- a safety measure that is known worldwide. Airlines, all over the world, drop bags to avoid being overweight. So how does this translate to being unsafe?
Members of the public are urged to disregard the publication as it is the handiwork of mischief-makers who are bent on discrediting a Nigerian airline committed to providing safe, best-in-class and affordable air travel for Nigerians and the flying public.
