AIR PEACE at the weekend offered clarifications on the status of its international flights, saying it has enlisted in the global airlines’ clearing house: the International Air Transport Association (IATA), with the requisite equipment and personnel to discharge such international service.
The carrier stated this in reference to a recent disclosure by a stakeholder in the sector suggesting that Nigerian carriers could not succeed in international routes because their airlines are not listed in the IATA’s clearing house.
Spokesman of the airline, Stanley Olisa, said such blanket categorisation is an expression of ignorance.
He said: ”Such an expert authoritatively project how Nigerian airlines are going to fail, as he is wont to do, always predicting how Nigerian carriers are going to fail and how he has the magic wand to stop the failure if he is consulted. But he does not know that Air Peace is in IATA clearing house!”
Olisa said Air Peace could succeed on international routes and has forged strategic foreign alliances to sustain its overseas operations.
