Allen Onyema, the chairman of Air Peace, has opened up on the frustrations his airline faced before their London route was approved.

Allen Onyeama, the chairman of Air Peace, in this interview opens up on the frustrations his airline faced before their London route was approved and vows that their daily flights to London, billed to flag off later this month, will be special. With economy class going for N1,200,000 Onyeama believes it will be the cheapest and the best for passengers. Approving discount for Nigerian students to be able to return home every holiday delights him. He is excited that travel agencies are promoting his air line with a slogan, ‘Air Peace, Our Own’, but he, at the same time, frowns at how foreign airlines are aided in Nigeria to fleece the country and hopes the government of Bola Ahmed Tinubu does something about it.
