Lawmaker Threatens Legal Action Against Air Peace Over Delays, Flight Disruptions
He said his planned legal action against the operator of the airline would address the unabated ill-treatment being meted against engers across the country.




A member representing Musawa/Matazu Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, Hon. Abdullahi Aliyu Ahmed, has threatened to take legal action against the management of Air Peace Limited over irregularities.

The lawmaker, while addressing reporters on Sunday, noted that the Nigerian airline has changed his flight from Business class to economy class after paying about N12 million from Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport to Jeddah.

Ahmed, who boarded flight P4752 alongside his family to King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah for lesser hajj, said the flight was supposed to depart Kano airport on 27 March 2024, but it was delayed till the following day.

The Chairman House Committee on Interior explained that the legal action was imperative because the scenario that happened between him and Air Peace is one of the numerous abnormalities customers are forced to suffer in the Nigerian aviation sector.

He further expressed displeasure over the alarming cases of incessant delays, flight disruptions, and schedule changes without adequate notice to engers by the management of Air Peace.

The lawmaker noted that the current record of flight disruptions, poor customer experience and poor handling of engers by Air Peace is inhuman, unacceptable and must be addressed immediately.

He said his planned legal action against the operator of the airline would address the unabated ill-treatment being meted against engers across the country.

He, therefore, vowed to work with his colleagues in the National Assembly to ensure that Air Peace and other errant airlines are sanctioned appropriately without fear or favour, noting that it is no longer business as usual.

He said: “I paid about N12 million for a business class ticket on 22 March 2024 and we were supposed to depart Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport on March 27 to Jeddah for lesser hajj. But the Air Peace operator changed the ticket to economy class without compensation.

“Unfortunately, they delayed our flight till the next day. This is a clear case of a breach of contract by Air Peace. They should pay back the money otherwise I will be left with no option than to approach the court for a redress,” Ahmed added.

Another affected enger, Ibrahim Shehu, called on the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and other relevant government agencies to intervene and recover money paid to the Air Peace by affected engers.

He also appealed to the Federal Government to wade in and stop the ongoing maltreatment of Nigerians and other travellers by Air Peace and other airlines in the country.

Use your brother's Nigerian Air

Go and use AZMAN air or CHaCHangi Airlines!!!!

Stop the Hate Onye Hausa!!!!

AIR PEACE IS BAD CURRENCY CHASING NAIRA OUT OF NIGERIA.

When foreign airlines or those owned by fellow northerners are involved in flight delays or similar disruptions, do these scumbags threaten them with lawsuits?

I don’t blame them, I blame Airpeace that went to a route that isn’t even lucrative.

Nonsense and ingredients!

It's alright

That is a wrong treatment in fairness. If true, that is unacceptable. I will not take it lightly myself. Air Peace must look into his claim and that of others and apologize or compensate them accordingly.

They first two comment above shows that Igbo must always claimed victimization.

Tunda faya u Abdulahi

Hehehe

This man wan give wailers from a particular region known for wailing reasons to start wailing again.

98.56% of the people that will quote me eat human flesh.

I don’t reply cannibals.

I thought kemyamo said airlines should start compensating for delaying engers?

If it were to be another Airline,you would see our miserable people quoting different law,but it's one of their now,see the rubbish they are saying! Anyways,Nigeria dont take ipob.ss serious,they are the jokes of the country.

You have a right to use the court, avoid the media slander before your case becomes like that of verydamagedman or chioma

.

The suit is very much welcome. Airpeace operations reeks of incompetence and deliberate misdemeanor towards engers. They're prone to delays and cancellations without compensation without apologies.

Your case lacks merit.

You dey buy N12m first class ticket to Saudi just because you wan go throw stones to invisible Satan, na how much have you donated to your constituency people?

God punish devil

Flight disruption is one thing, being downgraded from Business class to economy class without explanation or partial refunds is another thing.

When issues come up, learn to critically appraise the whole thing before taking sides. N12M in this harsh economy is not a joke.

Lastly, Air peace is a National project that is giving all of us Joy. Their engers are from all tribes so don't make them an Igbo project.

You obviously don't know what it takes to build and run an international business, so I wouldn't blame you but PLEASE don't spoil business for them.

Shove your ethnic talks down your butt and let those who fly by air make valuable inputs.

Where and how did he get N12 million to pay for the flight?

Is this pattern of spending reflected in his personal income tax returns?

Friends Jesus Christ loves y'all and he want you to accept him as your personal lord and saviour by giving your life to Christ, believing in him and repenting of your sins. tomorrow might be too late. Shalom

This is not a good response. changing his flight schedule without notice and compensation would trigger anyone. To many complaints about airpeace, they should do better
