Nigerian airline operator, Air Peace, has reacted to concerns about the safety of its passengers.
The airline spoke after the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA) wrote to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), alleging Air Peace allegedly violated some aviation safety regulations.
The development came barely three months after the Nigerian carrier commenced the Lagos-London route.
The airline revealed that the UK Civil Aviation Authority wrote to Air Peace following their statutory Ramp Inspection on April 7, 2024, to request clarification on its use of the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) and several other concerns in a statement released late on Monday via their handle on X.
However, the airline said it provided the necessary information, and the matter was resolved without any issues.
It pointed out that every B777 aircraft is equipped with charging ports in the cockpit and that it ensures that all B777 aircraft have iPad mounts.
Regarding the location of its cockpit library, the local airline said it is mandated that all of its Boeing B777 aircraft’s cockpit libraries be situated behind the captain.
Manuals and books are to be kept in two places on the B777: under the jump seat and behind the captain.
However, Air Peace claimed that throughout the inspection, the books were kept in the customary location—under the jump seat.
It added:
Air Peace also praised the UK CAA for alerting its Nigerian counterpart to the ramp inspection issue.
It pointed out that this is a standard procedure followed by aviation authorities worldwide and that the UK CAA acted appropriately in informing the Nigerian counterpart of the inspection’s results.
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that Air Peace announced the commencement of ticket sales for its highly anticipated London flights.
The airline offers economy class tickets for its London route at N1.2 million and business class tickets at N4 million.
The airline revealed the prices in a press statement on Wednesday, February 28, 2024.
