My day has been disrupted.
We cannot continue to excuse and ignore the irresponsibility and crass impunity of
@flyairpeace in this country.
Mr Allen Onyema possibly believes that because he has the largest fleet of aircraft, and his company occasionally intervenes in the repatriation of stranded Nigerians aboard, that gives him the latitude to take passengers for granted endlessly.
I am scheduled to appear in court in Enugu State this morning for a case that is slated for definite hearing.
I woke up by 4:30 AM and got to MM1 at about 5:50AM hoping to join the 6:45 AM flight with Air Peace. I already checked in last night.
I became suspicious when Air Peace called for only passengers who were supposed to fly to Enugu and Owerri yesterday, while passengers scheduled to depart today were asked to wait.
Apparently, they cancelled yesterday’s flight to Enugu.
Air Peace kept us on the line for about an hour before their staff came and casually told us that the flight has been delayed till 4:50 PM.
At 2:01 AM today, Air Peace sent a second reminder to passengers, despite knowing that the flight was not going to depart as scheduled.
It is sickening that this airline has persisted in its poor service delivery despite routine complaints by passengers.
The regulators of the aviation industry are complicit in the impunity of Air Peace.
The Minister of Aviation,
@fkeyamo, has been doing PR for this airline instead of holding them accountable.
@NigeriaCAA and
@FAAN_Official have demonstrated that they’re incapable of tackling the arrogance of this airline.
My client’s fate is now uncertain because of the irresponsibility of Air Peace. I met two learned colleagues who were equally billed to travel on the same flight. One of them also has a hearing this morning in Enugu.
Unfortunately , the two other airlines that fly to Enugu from Lagos (United Nigeria and Enugu Air) only have afternoon flights today.
I lost sound sleep, wasted my resources on flights and taxis (by the way, I already booked my return flight with United Nigeria slated for 3:20 PM today), and I am going to miss a sensitive court appearance.
Official data published few ago by NCAA revealed that Air Peace delayed 71% of its flights in August 2026.
According to NCAA, Air Peace recorded 1,330 delays out of 1,864 flights, representing about 71 percent.
No sanctions were imposed.
No country that is serious about economic development will condone such ineptitude.
