Nigeria’s biggest airline, Air Peace, on Wednesday, July 22, 2020 described as unfounded rumours that its pilots are on strike.
The carrier was responding to reports in the social media alleging a work-to-rule by its pilots.
But in a statement issued in Lagos by Mr. Stanley Olisa, the Media Executive, the company said the speculation is untrue.
“The attention of Air Peace has been brought to a publication which is circulating on social media, purporting that our pilots are on strike.
“The information is not only unfounded but also mischievously orchestrated by its source to portray the airline in bad light.
“This is to categorically state that our pilots are not on strike and nothing can warrant such development.
“The members of the public are advised to ignore such publication as our pilots have not downed tools,” he said
He said that Air Peace would continue to provide best-in-class flight services while observing the highest safety standards.
The airline was among those that resumed domestic flights on July 8 following the reopening of the airspace which was closed in response to the raging COVID 19 pandemic. International flights are yet to resume.
