Air Peace boss blames high airfares on internal, external conspiracies

Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, yesterday blamed external and internal intrigues for the previously outrageous high prices that foreign airlines were charging for international trips. He claimed that they were willing to buy dollar at any rate which put a strain on the nation’s legal tender thus contributing significantly to its decline.

“Now, Air Peace did this and they crashed their prices from N17 million to N5 million, the dollar did not change! They were using dollar as reason for whatever they were doing to us. Onyema further urged Nigerians to imbibe and display patriotism at all times adding, “We’ve proved that if only we’re patriotic in this country, we can all do it. It’s not for the government alone to do.”

It pegged its economy class ticket at N1.2 million on the Lagos-London route, while findings showed that foreign airlines charge an average of N3.5 million for economy class tickets from Lagos to London.
