Airpeace assures safety of all aircraft, attributes Pax luggage drop to maximum weight limits
The Management of Air Peace has reiterated its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of its esteemed customers. This is just as it emphasized that it will not lower its high safety standards to please anyone.
These assurances is coming on the heels of a publication that calls into question the safety of Airpeace aircraft. The online report attributed statements to a lawyer who boarded Air Peace flight P47121 on November 6, 2020, Abuja-Lagos at 8:45am. The lawyer alleged that the luggage of some of the passengers were not carried due to ‘weight restriction issues’.
In a statement by the spokesman for Airpeace, Mr. Stanley Oliseh, “We are stating categorically that all our aircraft are safe and airworthy, and it is a globally accepted fact that every aircraft has a weight limit.” Explaining further, he says, “the flight in question, we did not carry all the luggage because the aircraft had reached its maximum weight capacity.”
He says, it would have been unsafe and dangerous to do otherwise, adding that they did the right thing- “a safety measure that is known worldwide. Airlines, all over the world, drop bags to avoid being overweight. So how does this translate to being unsafe?”
He urges members of the public to disregard the publication as it is the handiwork of mischief-makers who are bent on discrediting a Nigerian airline committed to providing safe, best-in-class and affordable air travel for Nigerians and the flying public.
