helinues: Yes oo, win win for the travellers, that's the beauty of competition, we have experienced this during the time of MTN, ECONET b4 Glo scatter ground then so I hope this competition should get to the refineries asap so fuel prices can be under priced and become a win win for us. Air Peace shld try more logics |

mrvitalis: Oga Did you say the same thing to Dangote? For how long has FG bled Nigerians because of Dangote? Why didn't FG create a level playing ground for all businesses that want to compete with Dangote? Why can't the same FG give the same treatment to air peace? That's the useless tribal/religious politics we over everything. If Air peace were to be North westerner, your guess is as good as mine what would had been happening to the said air line. |

ryloy: It's perplexing. When one airline lowered its fares, no complaints were heard from competitors. But now that others are adjusting to stay afloat, suddenly there's an outcry. Given the choice between Air Peace at 1 million naira and Ethiopian Airlines at 600k, which would you pick? |

From the comments, many Nigerians are very wicked, jealous and will never support their own. Other airlines are wicked and reeping nigerian. They reduced price not because they love nigerians but because they want to frustrate a nigerian. |

Re: Foreign Airlines Are Underpricing Us - Alex Onyema by cedricksly: 7:08am On Apr 10 |
mrvitalis:that is not an healthy competition and should not be encouraged.. Because the new company just entered the route, the old ones with enough money will start underpricing far below making profit, just to frustrate the be cat out of the market and then hike up the price again, Afterall the have enough money to sustain the losses incurred for that few months, to force the new cat out if the market. For instant Just like 700k will give a profit margin of 200k, these old airline don't mind going to 400 to 450 coz they know airpeace can't go below the 700 to 600 mark, coz they have to make profit, that is no competition that is sabotage and the aviation minister should encourage it... |

Re: Foreign Airlines Are Underpricing Us - Alex Onyema by jmoore(m): 7:10am On Apr 10 |
Oghene86:Stop being economical with lies. It is not adjusting, they are operating at a loss while air peace is operating at a profit. These big airlines can afford to operate at a loss for a year in order to kill a new comer into the airline. When the newcomer is pushed out of the business, they will raise their prices and recover the loss they made before. You may prefer to pay 600k to fly Ethiopia airline but if Airpeace is pursued out of the business, you will start paying 2 million to Ethiopia airline. 4 Likes 1 Share |

NOTHING IS HANDED ON A PLATTER TO ANYONE Back home here... Air peace tickets to Abuja for instance are usually higher than Arik Air's for the same route. Does it mean Arik is conspiring against Air peace? No! Does it mean Arik Air has snatched the Market from Airpeace ? Big No!

helinues: They were not trying to be competitive, they were simply trying to set a trap for Nigerian, same scenario have played out with arik in the past, Nigerian are the ones that bare the brunt The foreign airlines conspired to push out arik from UK route and as soon as they achieved it they overinflated their price thereby running a group monopoly, same is what they want to do with air peace unless we Nigerian are too dull to see As soon as the United foreign airlines successfully push out air peace they will take their price back to 3m for economy, how can the price of Nigeria to London be twice the price of Accra to London, is the distance twice far? Those foreign airlines are running a united monopoly and fortunately for them Nigerian through tribalism are enabling them In 3 years time when air peace is finally sent packing expect Nigeria-UK tickets to be around 5m while Ghana is less than 1m 2 Likes |

One thing I realize is that,if Airpeace is forced out of that route by the foreign airlines. Nigerians will pay through thisr nose. This underpricing they are doing will be paid for by Nigerians. Solution:Let Nigerians continue to patronise airpeace,so that he would be in business. Also air peace should at least maintain it quality of service even if he can not upgrade it for now. 1 Like |

DeNovo:this isn't competition, this is sabotage by the big money airlines... You just do not understand that's why. Okay let me ask u a question which business man reduces his price below any profit margin belt? Knowing very well they would have to use out of their money to to cover up looses because of how low they have reduce their prices to, not even break even pricing, they set a price that not just that they can't make money, they run at a loss for every flight, just to frustrate the new comer who would definitely want to make profit in the new route, no matter how small. When they kick him out of the market because he stops due to the fact that he can't compete in a healthy manner without running a loss, a loss he can't cover, when he is out of that route, they hike price back up, who do you think would suffer it? That's no competition bro, that's sabotage coz big airlines has always been a cabal, they frustrate every new commer out of the market coz they have enough money to play around... Why now? So they would have made profit setting price around what airpeace set? Why ha sit always been x3? And u think it is competitive reducing their price far below profit line? C'mon Think. |

What is then the benefit of free market system if government intervene in favor of Airpeace... 🤷🏼♂️ Try park well, let him finish the war he started. |

This is the same man that achieved more in this government more than he achieved in the last 7 years. Have you forgotten how Obidients took over his narrative and were insulting the President and Minister of Aviation? I hope the government overlooks his stupidity and find a way to help him. 1 Like |

Re: Foreign Airlines Are Underpricing Us - Alex Onyema by DeNovo: 7:30am On Apr 10 |
jmoore: My brother I don't think your assertions are correct. For one, no one goes into business to make a loss.. Ethiopian Airlines you spoke about will not operate a loss solely because of Airpeace!! What then will they do with competition from the over 20 well establiched international airlines competing with them in nigeria? Indeed do not forget that the reason fares were high in recent times was because our own government under buhari refuses to allow the airlines repatriate their money and as a result ALL INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES blocked their low fare inventory (which is why you could get lower fares in neighbouring countires last year). Tinubu's administration paid them their money a few weeks ago, and the airlines all responded by reopening their low inventory fares again! Based on this, you will agree that current fares are not a gang up to push Airpeace our of the market - don't forget even here at home, airpeace and possibly ibom air charge the highest fares in the domestic market. Would it then be fair to claim that lower fares charged by other domestic airlines is a ploy to take Air peace and ibom air out? 3 Likes 1 Share |

LegendHero: It’s time for government to back air peace with incentives and special treatment even at the airport to enable its service is excellent in the area of boarding, waiting time and all that, and if possible the minister of trade and foreign investment and minister of aviation should join one of his flights to gatwick to see if air peace is not been treated well. Nigeria to London route market is a very lucrative route been enjoyed by British Airways and Virgin Alone , it shouldn’t be so AirPeace Must Succeeded It’s a MUST Kindly check my previous post for nice cheap gadgets |
