A popular Nigerian activist, Adetoun Adeniyi, has called for strong public support for indigenous airlines.
This comes as Adeniyi described the Nigerian airline, Air Peace, as a national asset that must be protected.
Adeniyi’s remarks come amid growing criticism of the airline over recent controversies, particularly concerning its passenger luggage policies.
“We cannot try this in a foreign land,” she added, highlighting what she described as double standards in consumer expectations.
“Every aircraft has a maximum take-off weight. If the exact weight being carried is not declared, it could lead to unsafe operations or even accidents,” she said.
Her comments have sparked debate, with many Nigerians echoing her sentiments about the need to support indigenous enterprises.
However, some critics argue that local businesses must also improve service delivery to earn public trust.
