Air Peace COO addresses Sirika’s claim of $19m loss on Dubai operation

Air Peace’s Chief Operating Officer, Toyin Olajide, has described the comments made against the firm by the former Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika, as spurious.

On Monday, in a statement released by Olajide, she said Sirika lied in his interview with Arise TV, where he claimed Air Peace is unable to attract passengers.

Sirika alleged that Air Peace leased two Boeing 777 aircraft on a monthly lease fee of $250,000, but abandoned the planes due to the firm’s inability to meet capacity.
