The management of Nigeria’s commercial airliner, Air Peace, has revealed why they have become a preferred choice for Nigerian travelers and aspiring aviation personnel.
The airline, in a statement on Saturday by its Chairman, Mr. Allen Onyema, stressed that better welfare packages for staff and strict observance of routine checks and maintenance of aircraft in its fleet are the cardinal points of its operational style that has become the organisation’s strong points.
He further explained that the success and client loyalty recorded by AirPeace within its short period of existence are traceable to those cardinal objectives of staff reward and recognition and periodic technical review of its fleet.
In a further clarification, the airline noted that immediately the it was granted the Air Operators Certificate, (AOC) in September last year, he set out the major driving principles, which the Chairman said have been guiding AirPeace.
“Part of these critical issues that have us the edge is the large premium we place on staff welfare. Next to that is that, aircraft must be put in top shape to meet all safety standards as well as avoid inconveniences to passengers caused by delays and cancellation of flights. Above all we ensure that only good aircraft are procured for our operations,” the statement noted.
While dismissing allegations in some quarters that it was poaching the pilots of other airlines, the AirPeace boss said that if any pilot is poached it makes a statement about the degree of job satisfaction and welfare they enjoy, stressing that it is a normal industry practice for staff to apply for employment in firms where their consideration for job security, welfare and capacity enhancement are assured.
Speaking on this, Onyema said: “Our competitors seem to suggest that AirPeace ambushes or abducts pilots in an unethical manner; the truth of the matter remains that when we advertise for vacant positions, we look out for qualification, integrity and capacity to meet set targets without discrimination against ethnic, religious or past organisations the prospective employee had worked for.”
The statement noted that in today’s highly competitive markets, only organisations that develop forward looking solutions excel adding that AirPeace is constantly looking for ways to better its records by setting higher standards of business practices and ensuring greater satisfaction for its clients and publics.
On what lies, he said: “In the coming year, AirPeace hopes to scale up its operational schemes in line with international best practices.”
