Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, has described the denial of his airline landing permit to evacuate stranded Nigerians in the United Kingdom as an eye-opener.
Onyema expressed his disappointment in the British government, accusing it of frustrating the effort of the Nigerian government and Air Peace to evacuate stranded Nigerians.
Onyema said, “I want to thank Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika for his support. When this issue happened, a lot of people who were uninformed about this issue told me that it must be the minister that did this. “I want to use this opportunity to clear the air that the Minister of Aviation gave heavy support even in the night. He had to send me voice notes. He had to engage the external affairs minister on what was happening.”
“They did not know that earlier, they sent a mail to us that we didn’t need TCO. They sent us the mail and that was how we did the first evacuation flight.
