Air Peace says no 30% discount offer
In a statement issued by its spokesperson, Osifo-Whiskey Efe, the airline clarified that it is not running any such promotion and described the circulating advert as fraudulent and unrelated to the company.
The statement read in part:
"We wish to categorically state that Air Peace is not running any 30% discount promotion. The said advertisement is fraudulent and not affiliated with Air Peace in any way."
It urged the public to ignore the misleading message and avoid interacting with those behind it. The airline said those behind it are trying to scam unsuspecting individuals.
The airline noted that the deceptive post encourages people to sign up to access the fake offer, but stressed that Air Peace has no involvement in the promotion.
Last year, in a similar move, the airline refuted claims of an 80% fare reduction on selected flight routes circulated on a fraudulent Facebook page under the name "Silver Bryan Fran".
Addressing the trend, Air Peace warned customers to be cautious, stating information should only be gotten from its official website www.flyairpeace.com, and not “airpeace.com” or any other unauthorised domain.
Recall that in March 2025, the airline had urged Nigerian students enrolled full-time at accredited institutions in the UK, Europe, the US and Canada to take advantage of its exclusive 15% discount on economy tickets for flights between Nigeria and London.
Air Peace urges customers to use official channels
To prevent fraud, the company advised passengers to use only its verified contact channels: Call Centre (+234 201 343 8133), Email (callcenter@flyairpeace.com), and its official website.
Air Peace also emphasised that it would not be liable for any transactions made through unauthorised platforms, numbers, or social media accounts.
Air Peace reaffirmed its dedication to providing passengers with safe, dependable, and comfortable air travel experiences.
The airline said it would continue to uphold the highest standards of service and operational excellence, ensuring that every journey is smooth and enjoyable for its valued customers.

Air Peace CEO explains delay in public listing
In related news, Legit.ng reported that Air Peace CEO Allen Onyema stated that the airline is holding off on becoming a publicly listed company until it has fully strengthened its operational base.
He stated that moving too early could expose the airline to external pressures from minority shareholders and might interfere with the company’s commitment to its social impact goals.
Onyema added that while a public listing remains part of Air Peace’s long-term strategy, the step will only be taken once the airline has built a strong and sustainable foundation to maintain stability and deliver quality service to the public.
