The price war sparked by Nigerian carrier, Air Peace, with its entrant into the juicy Lagos-London route once monopolised by foreign airlines has triggered mixed feelings among stakeholders.
In the last two weeks, the talking points for the country’s aviation experts have been how would Air Peace survive what they describe as a deliberate campaign to run the indigenous airline out of business, and what could government and Nigerians do to rescue it from the price war.
We need to be patriotic. In all fairness to Nigerians, this time, however, they are very patriotic because they have seen enough. We have suffered and we have been ripped off big time. Why were they charging us between N2 and N3 million for tickets that are now less than N1 million? Economy class went for that amount and some of them were non-refundable. And when you missed a flight, you lost the money.Air Peace itself also needs to be able to compete, it needs to have on-time departure.
Many are of the view that banks should offer the Nigerian carrier single digit loans to enable it to have the financial muscle in sustaining the price war. Do you agree with them?
