Air Peace has debunked claims suggesting that it has increased its one-way flight fare from Lagos to Abuja to N200,000.
Recall that a now-viral internal memo purportedly stated that Air Peace’s one-way flight would now cost N200,000 from November 1, 2024.
The memo partly reads,”This is to inform you that our domestic fares have been reviewed. The new fares are effective for flights from 1st November 2024. The previous fares remain available for flights up to 31st October 2024.”
“According to the new fare structure, business class under booking class “J” will rise from 250,000 to 400,000, reflecting a 60% increase, while class “C” will increase from 200,000 to 330,000, a 65% hike.
“Economy class fares will also experience substantial adjustments, with class “Y” increasing from 150,100 to 300,000, representing a 100% increase. Other economy fares will range between 120,000 and 210,000, highlighting varied adjustments across categories.
“Additionally, all new fares will be refundable, with no change fees applied to modified bookings. However, the no-show fee has been increased from 10,000 to 15,000 to promote better booking management.
The memo stated that existing fares will remain valid for flights booked on or before October 31.
However, in a statement debunking the viral post, the Airline said the post suggesting 100% fare increase with the image of Chairman, Mr. Allen Onyema, is false and did not emanate from the airline.
The statement said, “We would like to categorically state that this information is false and did not originate from Air Peace.
“We have not released any official statement regarding a fare increase as described, and any announcements regarding our pricing would only be made through our verified channels.
“We encourage our valued customers and clients to rely exclusively on our above platforms for accurate updates and information on fares.”
A check on the website of the airline showed that a one-way Lagos-Abuja flight on Air Peace is far less than that.As of the time of doing this report, a one-way flight for November 1 is around N114,000.
