What an irony!

An Igbo man investing in Nigerian aviation industry aggressively when majority of the Igbo youths are claiming marginalization and expressing disaffection towards the Nigerian state. He could have chosen to complain and be bitter about how things are bad in Nigeria. He rather is making the best out the situation.

Lesson: Igbos thrive even in hostile foreign lands, you can always make the best out every situation, it is all in your head and mind.

Why are they flying to Sharja, why not Dubai International or Al Maktoum?

TundeBricklayer:

Peace Mass is not the owner of AirPeace, Peace mass owner is from Enugu, while AirPeace owner is from Ihiala, Anambra State.

You are right!

An average Igbo trader is richer than an average trader in any part of the country and those traders makes the bulk of people driving the Biafran agenda.

Igbo has the largest number of millionaires, so what are you saying?

The only people that can rival Ndi Igbo in the number of indigenous billionaires are the yorubas.

Whether we complain or not, e no concern anybody, at least we are not as backward as the North that loves One Nigeria.

After looting one state dry, First Nation had only 2 crafts in their fleet flying domestic and today, it is no longer operational.

Allen Onyema started with few buses and then grew the business into one of the largest Mass Transit in the East.

He diversify into Lubricant oil and his massive fleet provided a ready market to build from.

From this two businesses, he went into Air Line with just 1 aircraft and nobody gave him chance and today, he is the largest indigenous private operator of air crafts in Nigeria after Arik Air failed to manage their overwhelming successes which led to a government take-over.

When every istration abandoned the East except Jonathan, Ethopia Air and Air Peace kept Enugu Air Port busy and today, he is moving all his operation to Enugu in line with Ndi Igbo age long tradition of aku r'ulo.

He is resilient, he is resolute and he is an Igboman.

Why Sharjah and not dubai. Are you aware of the stress and cost to get to dubai from sharjah after the stress flying from nigeria?

Kajoka:


Cause those are big hubs. Airport taxes and airport slot wont even give them an opportunity to enter the business. But flying in through a not too popular airport even with the shuttle to Dubai train station they stand a high chance of breaking even in the very competitive Dubai route

I thought as much, good observation.

Yorubas are not in the position to advise an Igbo man business wise expect just few of them.

You don't need to tell an Igbo man when to activate his exit strategy.

Hundreds of Nigerians paid for tickets to be part of Air Peace inaugural flight to Dubai via Sharja in United Arab Emirates (UAE) from Lagos on Friday.

The engers said that they wanted to identify with the indigenous carrier, because of its affordable fares and the desire to see a Nigerian airline operate international destination to stem the exploitative fares charged by international carriers.

They expressed the hope that if Air Peace continues to provide efficient service, they would continue to patronise the airline, which they described as source of pride to the country.

One of the engers, Ezekiel Lawal, told THISDAY that he was excited to be traveling to Dubai with a Nigerian carrier and expressed the hope that the airline would sustain the route, adding that the fare is attractive and affordable.

“We are happy that a Nigerian airline is taking us to Dubai. The fair is very good and with this many people will be patronising the airline. Look at hundreds of people that are traveling with the airline. Many of them are traveling for the first time because they can afford the fare,” Lawal said.

At the formal ceremony to herald the inaugural flight at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, The Chairman/CEO of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, said that the airline’s foray into international operations would help end the short changing of Nigerians flying to international destinations.

Onyema said he empathised with Nigerian travellers because of the outrageous fares they were made to pay when compared to what other African countries pay for the same hours of flight.

He stated that Nigerians traveling from Lagos to London which is six hours pay more than travellers flying from Johannesburg to London, which is about nine hours.
The airline which commenced its inaugural operations with over 80 per cent load factor said it aims to maintain its startup trajectory.

Onyema said the airline’s major objective is to provide efficient and reliable flight service to Nigerians at affordable fares to stem the exploitation of Nigerian travellers.

“Let me tell Nigerians, what you pay to Europe for a six hours flight , those that fly nine hours from Jo’ burg do not pay that; it’s time to stop the short-changing,” he said.

The Air Peace boss also said that competitor airlines would soon begin to crash their fares when they hear of and see the attractive offer Air Peace has in store but reminded them that these airlines refused to drop those fares initially until they came in.

” As we speak our fares are attractive, we have N180,000 to Dubai via Sharjah on Economy, and we have N650,000 for Business Class while our First Class is N850,000 you won’t get a better offer, in fact for First class ok you see from N2million up. I’m sure some airlines will reduce their fares but this is just to ensnare you again and keep ripping you off.”
“I am sure that Air Peace will start and not close shop after some months, I have no doubt this will succeed,” he said.
Also speaking, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Aviation, Saibu Zackari, pledged government’s to Air Peace, stating that government s all Nigerian airlines and will Air Peace.

The Permanent Secretary represented by the Director Air Traffic Management, Azssan Musa, also hinted that government has helped with its special window for making foreign exchange available as well as aircraft spare.

₦180k on Economy to Dubai is not cheap dude,₦150-160k is fair.

While AirPeace is not flying directly to Dubai like its competitor Emirates, it is making provision for a complementary bus to convey its engers from Sharjah to Dubai which is within a space of 40 minutes. The airline is also leveraging its new aircraft, Boeing 777, the same aircraft Emirates also uses, to drive patronage on the route.

Note: Peace Mass and Air Peace are two different brands. Peace Mass owes Peace Lubrication.

Both has their headquarters in Enugu.

Where do you get your 'southeast facts' from?! You must be a dog with an evil mission- coming to this forum to spread lies. For the records: Allen doesn't own peace mass transit, he's a pan-Nigerian, he made his money courtesy niger-deltans, his wife is kogi, I can tell you how he eats,drinks,sleeps,angers if you care to know.

Seek to express yourself and reflect an education. It is indeed very sad when supposedly educated people display unparalleld lethargy which manifests in the form of poorly researched information being blurted out in the public space.

Why not research a little about Allen Oyeama with the intent of uncovering who he really is.

Why conclude erroneously that Air Peace is a metamorphosis of Peace Mass Transit?

Yorubas do not only have more billionaires than Igbo


Yorubas are Richer than Igbo


The second Richest black man on the planet is a Yoruba

The second Richest woman in Africa is a Yoruba

Shut up your mouth

I don't know when running a business become a tribal thing, just because you have the highest numbers of Adult hawkers, wheel barrow pushers and Gala sellers roaming around Nigeria

No Igbo is in Top 5 Richest Nigerians but you won't let us rest with your silly chest beating

Airpeace writing and choice of design on the body of the plane look too local with too much painting....very African obviously .

This is how its suppose to look

Igbo Amaka .
Give Igbos their country and watch how Igbo men convert lemon to lemonade.

Will definitely port to Air peace.

Emirates have sucked me well enough.

Name the top 5 richest Nigerian and just point 1 that didn't make his money through oil and govt patronage.

Like I said again, yorubas are not in the position to advise Ndi Igbo business-wise, except few.

Case study: Nairaland vs Linda Ikeji Media

Those hawkers are buying up your lands while your lazy brothers are busy in every motor park looking for free money.
