The drama surrounding the Air Nigeria continues as Air Peace has countered the claims made by the former Aviation minister, Hadi Sirika on Nigeria Air.

Sirika appeared on Arise TV on Sunday where he clarified allegations surrounding the controversy about Nigeria Air.

Air Peace on Monday, however, issued a press release signed by its Chief Operating Officer, Air Peace, Toyin Olajide, to state that Sirika lied about some of the claims he made. On the allegation that Air Peace stopped flying to Dubai because of a lack of capacity, the COO said the airline never stopped the Dubai operations because of lack of capacity.

“For the former minister to ascribe the suspension to ‘lack of capacity’ is not only shocking but also shows how keen he is to disparage an airline whose ascendancy has defied all the commercial odds and hostile environment placed on its path to continue to serve our nation proudly. Olajide thereafter implored the general public to disregard these lies told by the former minister of aviation against Air Peace during the Arise TV Interview.
