Our  CEO's visit to Ekiti , by Air Peace 

…..As airline refutes  misleading report by Sahara Reporters 











Air Peace has offered clearer insight  into last weekend's trip of its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer , Dr Allen Onyema to Ekiti State describing it as fruitful and well accomplished.
The carrier said it  will not allow the success of the trip be tainted by fabricated , inaccurate and misleading reports by Sahara Reporters, which alleged that that Dr. Allen Onyema was “stranded” for over 24 hours at the Ekiti State Agro Allied International Cargo Airport due to the airport’s lack of navigation aids.
In a statement by its Head, Corporate Communications, Dr. Ejike Ndiulo , Air Peace said:" We want to categorically state that this report is false, inaccurate and misleading. This is a deliberate misrepresentation of facts designed to malign Air Peace and its leadership.
" The claim that “his pilot took a risky manoeuvre to exit Ekiti airport to Lagos” is an outright fabrication that irresponsibly suggests a breach of aviation safety protocols—something Air Peace would never engage in."
The airline attributed  the delay on Onyema's flight returning to Lagos unfavourable Weather Conditions.
Ndiulo said :" The aircraft scheduled to pick up Dr. Onyema and his team on Saturday evening could not land in Ekiti due to poor weather conditions -heavy rain
 'As a standard safety precaution, the flight was rerouted back to Lagos. This is a routine occurrence in global aviation and not a reflection of any inadequacy on the part of the airport.
" There was  No ‘Risky Manoeuvre’: At no point did any Air Peace flight engage in unsafe operations, contrary to the false narrative pushed by Sahara Reporters. "Air Peace upholds the highest international aviation safety standards, with safety as our top priority. 
"This amounts to Deliberate Misinformation: It is disappointing that Sahara Reporters chose to push a sensational and misleading narrative despite having been provided with the accurate sequence of events. 
"This reckless journalism not only misinforms the public but also attempts to tarnish the reputation of Nigeria’s leading airline.
'At Air Peace, safety is not just a priority but a fundamental precondition for all our activities. We remain committed to maintaining safe and timely operations."

    NCAA blasts Aviation Elders on spurious claims bordering on  Najomo's confirmation  The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has  berated the shadow chasing efforts of a so - called industry group :  Aviation Elders (AE) , which has embarked on a sinister move to thwart efforts by the Federal Government to confirm the appointment of Captain Chris Najomo as the substantive  Director General of the apex aviation regulatory body. In a move aimed at mudslinging, Aviation Elders accused  Najomo of handling safety matters with levity. Aviation Elders  accused Najomo of trivializing the sector by allegedly announcing his confirmation by himself in a video when the National Assembly has not done so. Though the NCAA would have ignored the group with its sinister agenda, but is constrained to set the records straight. NCAA's Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mr Michael Achimugu has  countered all the allegations saying the...
