I thought Air peace just acquired new jets from Boeing and is still expect delivery of more planes.. Boeing even released an official statement confirming the fact.. So where's this news coming from..

Now you know why NK said naija is a zoo!

meezynetwork:
I thought air peace bought a brand new aircraft of recent?

Nigeria no fit buy new aircraft, na air-peace wan buy new one.

how e wan happen

meezynetwork:
I thought air peace bought a brand new aircraft of recent?

and you believe? Every Tokunbo item is a new one in Nigeria

iammo:
Even at that, with 87million people living under $2 a day how exactly will they get market to pay back cost of new aircrafts on local commercial routes with many states without functional airports

Why don't they sell all those caskets & bond together themselves or with the Nigerian government to buy a fleet of New Aircrafts under one name

i saw the boeing 777 bought by air peace at murtala this past easter. Oboy that plane na old plane abeg. That plane no go dey less than 15 years.

This post and article sourced from Vanguard is another lazy journalism.
The airplane age is not just determined by the year the aircraft was built.
What if the entire Avionics and Engine were replaced with brand new ones in 2014?
What if the landing gear was replaced 2017?
The most critical functions of a plane in terms of safety are engine, avionics, landing gear, navigational system and the fuselage integrity.
If all of these pass IATA tests, it certifies the plane to be 1st class.

If age is that much of a problem, can you use the contents of this article/post to explain why a Boeing with ONLY 800 hours flight time and BUILT IN 2018 crash and kill all 189 people on board. That makes the plane less than 11 months old! Lion Air Flight 610.

nonye6194:
This one na old news, explorers made a thread on this last year in details, where they buy their planes and the refurbishment process it undergoes before coming to put Nigerians in danger

I was actually looking for one person that has sense untill I saw this. A lot stupid people just want to say something for no reason.
The funny thing is Lion Air has a very bad record and one. Lots of issues from the past year and Iearned that pilot pay them to fly because they want to add to their years of experience. Instead of them paying first class pilots.

It's funny how everyone missed " the average age of plane is 25 years ".
Comparing Ethiopian that does long route to arik that flies only West Africa. They are mad.
