A loyal customer of Air Peace, Chief Michael Onuoha, has called on Nigerians to rally behind the airline and stop what he described as the “demarketing” of a home-grown carrier that has become a symbol of national pride.

In a statement issued in Lagos, Onuoha described Air Peace as “Nigeria’s pride” and urged critics, social media commentators, and opinion leaders to support the airline rather than undermine its achievements.

According to him, the airline has distinguished itself through its commitment to safety, comfort, job creation, and the development of Nigeria’s aviation sector.

“Airpeace is not just another airline. Air Peace is Nigeria’s pride. It is the shining emblem of what we, as people, can achieve when we put our minds, our resources, and our determination to work,” he said.

Onuoha, who said he had flown with the airline on several domestic and regional routes over the years, praised the carrier’s modern fleet, professional crew, and expansion across local and international destinations.
He noted that the airline had continued to connect cities and create opportunities for Nigerian pilots, engineers, and aviation professionals despite challenges in the sector.
The loyal customer also lamented what he called a growing culture of pulling down successful indigenous businesses, warning that such attitudes could hinder national development.
“How can we build a great nation if we are the first to tear down our own institutions the moment they begin to soar?” he asked.
He further appealed to Nigerians to support local businesses, particularly Air Peace, which he said had invested heavily in local content, training, and aviation infrastructure.
Onuoha expressed optimism that the airline could become “the Pride of Africa” by expanding its operations across the continent and strengthening regional connectivity.
“Airpeace has the potential — and I believe the destiny — to do even better. It can become the true Pride of Africa, serving not only Nigerians but all Africans with the same excellence, warmth, and reliability it has shown at home,” he added.
He concluded by urging Nigerians to patronise and defend the airline, saying Air Peace represents hope and proof that Nigerian businesses can compete globally.
