 Air Peace denies plan to hike airfare


One of the major airlines in the country, Air Peace, has denied plans to increase its one-way flight fare from Lagos to Abuja to N200,000.

A post recently went viral indicating that Air Peace’s one-way flight would now cost N200,000 from November 1, 2024.

The post claimed that the one-way flight fare on the airline would increase from N114,000 to N200,000 starting next month.

However, in a statement released on Saturday, the airline said the post suggesting a 100% fare increase, featuring an image of Chairman Mr Allen Onyema, is false and did not originate from the airline.

It added that its management has not released any official statement regarding a fare increase as claimed in the post.

The statement read, “We would like to categorically state that this information is false and did not originate from Air Peace.

“We have not released any official statement regarding a fare increase as described, and any announcements regarding our pricing would only be made through our verified channels. We encourage our valued customers and clients to rely exclusively on these platforms for accurate updates and information on fares.”
