Air Peace Management has debunked claims surrounding a violation of safety protocol by its company in the United Kingdom, as reported in the media.
It was earlier reported that the company was allegedly involved in violating safety precautions.
While addressing these issues, the management of Air Peace, in a signed document shared through their social media channel on Monday, described the claims as “falsehood,” whose target was to create “fears and doubts in the minds of the flying public.’
The management noted that they have geared themselves with pride towards safety measures since the inaugural flight to London commenced; they have been “subjected to intense scrutiny by the relevant authorities.”
Added to that, Air Peace stated that the safety and security of passengers are paramount to them.
Although the management confirmed that the UK Civil Aviation Authority wrote to Air Peace on April 7, 2024, it alleged that the issue has been resolved since they submitted the requested documents.
“It is, therefore, wrong to say we do not have approval for our EFB. Air Peace received approval from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), and all our Boeing 777 aircraft are certified to operate with EFBs.”

Stressing the allegations, the agency expressed dismay and acknowledged that the aircraft has been equipped with necessary gadgets, such as an iPad and charging ports, and also has provisions for the storage of books and manuals.
“Regarding the claim that our B777 aircraft lack iPad mounts and charging ports in the flight deck, this is incorrect. All B777 aircraft are equipped with charging ports in the cockpit, and we ensure that all our B777 aircraft have iPad mounts.”
“Another issue raised by the UK CAA was the location of our cockpit library on the B777. The B777 designates two locations for storing manuals and books: one behind the captain and one under the jumpseat. During the inspection, the books were stored under the jumpseat, as it is commonly practiced.”
“We understand the inspector’s preference for the books to be placed behind the captain and have ensured this preference is accommodated for all operations going forward,” the notice noted.
They also admitted to the issue of landing on an existing route, which caused some delay for other air craft landings, and the matter has been settled as well.
