Air Peace Sacks 69 Pilots, Cuts Salaries By 40%
Nigeria’s leading commercial airline, Air Peace, has sacked 69 pilots across its fleet types as the negative impact of COVID-19 pandemic continues to take a huge toll on its operations.
Spokesman of the airline, Mr. Stanley Olisa said in a statement issued yesterday that the company took the decision “as a result of the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations and financial health.” Air Peace also explained that the pandemic has hit every airline worldwide so badly that it has become very impossible for airlines to remain afloat without carrying out internal restructuring of their costs.
“Air Peace has never, for one day, ever owed salaries to its workers in its almost six years of existence, pilots inclusive. Rather, the management of Air Peace has always been known to be increasing salaries of its employees periodically without being prompted by staff. “In fact, in one fell swoop, Air Peace increased the salaries of pilots by over 100 per cent in one day! Our salaries have always been paid even before the end of the month in the last five years!” the statement said.
