Air Peace Refutes UK Safety Violation Claims, Denounces Media Reports As Exaggerated

638

Air Peace has debunked recent media reports alleging safety breaches during its operations in the United Kingdom, describing them as exaggerated and sensationalised.

The reports followed two mandatory occurrence reports filed by London Gatwick Airport to the UK Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA) and subsequently forwarded to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

According to the airline’s spokesperson, Stanley Olisa, the issues raised by the UK CAA during a Ramp Inspection on April 7, 2024, were promptly addressed.

Air Peace received approval from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), and all our Boeing 777 aircraft are certified to operate with EFBs,” he stated.

The UK CAA had requested clarifications regarding using the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) and other operational aspects, which were provided without issues. Air Peace emphasised that all Boeing 777 aircraft have charging ports and iPad mounts, contrary to the claims of deficiencies.

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 practised, Olisa explained.

Additionally, a concern was raised about a captain’s choice of runway exit, which has since been addressed.

We acknowledge this deviation and have addressed the matter with the captain to ensure adherence to preferred exit procedures in the future, Olisa added.
