One of Nigeria’s leading airlines, Air Peace, has debunked reports suggesting a purported 100% fare increase across domestic flight routes.
The airline, in a press statement posted on the airline’s official X (formerly Twitter), clarified that it didn’t increase domestic airfares.
In the statement, Air Peace further urged customers to rely exclusively on its verified channels, including its website and social media accounts, for accurate updates on pricing and fares.
The statement reads in part: “We categorically state that this information is false and did not originate from Air Peace. We have not released any official statement regarding a fare increase as described.
“Announcements regarding our pricing would only be made through our verified channels.”
This comes after reports emerged that Air Peace is purportedly set to introduce new domestic fare adjustments starting from November 1, 2024, following the circulation of a viral internal memo on social media.
The memo, allegedly from the airline, outlined steep fare increases, with a purported confirmation from a senior staff member further fueling speculation.
The rumoured memo detailed fare hikes across various booking classes, including a 60% increase for Business Class (J), 115.38% for Economy Class (S), 108.33% for Economy Class (B), and 99.87% for Economy Class (Y), among others.
