The Management of Air Peace Airline has said it has not yet taken delivery of the 10 brand new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft ordered.
The airline said the aircraft are still at the design and configuration stage of the order.
“We thought it imperative to clarify that Air Peace recently placed a firm order for10 brand new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. We are, however, yet to take delivery of the aircraft as we are still at the design and configuration stage of the order.,” the airline said.
In a statement made available to African Business Travel News (ABTN), the Corporate Communications Manager, Chris Iwarah said “This clarification has become necessary in view of numerous calls and enquiries on our response to the incidents involving the B737 Max 8 aircraft.
Adding “Although it is premature to comment on the incidents, we wish to assure members of the flying public that we are closely following and monitoring developments on the issue as an airline that prioritises the safety and well-being of our customers.”
However, the airline said while it keeps engaging with its partners in that regard, it has strong confidence that Boeing and aviation authorities have the capabilities to satisfactorily address all the issues if at the conclusion of ongoing investigations it is discovered that the challenge is with the B737 Max 8.
Air Peace therefore urged members of the flying public to continue to choose it as their preferred airline and trust it to always act in their best interest.
