According to the senator, passengers often find themselves stranded with little to no communication from the airline. When flights are delayed, Air Peace reportedly demands extra fees for rebooking or other services, exploiting the vulnerability of travelers who have already made significant plans. Oshiomhole estimates that these practices generate profits exceeding one hundred thousand naira from each affected passenger, painting a grim picture of the airline’s business model.
In his passionate address, Oshiomhole did not hold back, labeling the airline’s tactics as criminal. He accused Air Peace of profiting from its own inefficiencies while systematically extorting hard-earned money from Nigerians. His claims are bolstered by his own refusal of bribes offered by Air Peace officials, who allegedly attempted to silence him and quell the growing unrest among passengers.
Oshiomhole’s allegations have struck a chord with many Nigerians, who have shared their own harrowing experiences with Air Peace. Stories of missed connections, lost luggage, and unresponsive customer service are rampant, leading to calls for accountability. The senator’s revelations have ignited a firestorm of criticism, pushing the airline into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
