Air Peace Sets Tone In Aviation With 3rd IOSA
West Africa’s largest airline, Air Peace has set the tone for the aviation sector in 2020 as it recently received its third International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification. This development is coming on the heels of the airline’s announcement of flight operations into Ibadan from Abuja, Kano and Owerri.
It would be recalled that the airline set a record when it obtained its first IOSA barely two years into its operations and was subsequently inducted as a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
In a reaction, the Chief Operating Officer (COO), Air Peace, Mrs. Toyin Olajide expressed that certification is another feather added to the Air Peace’s cap and it confirms the airline’s uncompromising adherence to safety standards in line with global best practices.
She explained that “the exercise this time around was tougher than what obtained in previous years but we scaled through every phase of the certification process due to our unwavering drive to keep raising the bar in our operations”.
She further reassured the flying public of the airline’s resolve to continue to comply with best safety standards and promised more seamless connectivity and an expanded route network in 2020.
The COO applauded the IATA for its efforts at ensuring that stakeholders in aviation globally comply with stipulated safety standards. She averred that the airline would continue to blaze the trail in Africa’s aviation landscape.
In her words, she stated that “Air Peace has attained an enviable position as West Africa’s leading airline and will continue to raise the bar in flight services, while ensuring a hundred percent compliance with all safety codes as required by the industry regulatory bodies”.
In a message to Air Peace, the Director of Audit Programmes, IATA, Catalin Cotrut, congratulated the airline on the successful completion of the audit. He implored the airline of the standard reporting responsibilities in accordance with the IOSA Programme Manual (IPM) Section 7.7.1.
The IATA Operational Safety Audit Programme is an internationally recognized and accepted system designed to evaluate the operational management and control systems of an airline. It is the benchmark for global safety management in airlines.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said that Nigeria is moving forward regardless of critics of his economic policies.
Tinubu disclosed this during his maiden media chat aired on Monday from Lagos.
This comes as the president insisted that the country is on a path of recovery despite economic hardship.
Speaking on the 2025 N49.7 trillion budget proposal, he reiterated it is a restoration of hope.
He called for understanding and cooperation from Nigerians amid the prevailing economic realities.
“Nigeria is moving forward regardless of critics. This is a budget of restoration of hope, and Nigeria is on the path of recovery. We can’t finish the job in one calendar year,” he declared.
President Bola Tinubu has appealed to Nigerians to learn to manage by switching off their lights.
Tinubu advised that switching off lights would reduce electricity bills.
He spoke during his presidential media chat with journalists in Lagos State.
According to Tinubu: “It’s not negative to learn to manage. You learn to control your electricity bill, switch off the light, let’s learn to manage.”
The president also said he does not believe in price control and he won’t toe that path.
“I don’t believe in price control, we will work hard to supply the market,” he said.
Upon his assumption of power, Tinubu government had hiked the electricity tariff and removed the subsidy on fuel.
On April 3, 2024, the electricity regulator raised tariff for customers said to be under the Band A classification, with customers now paying N225 kilowatt per hour from N66.
This move was heavily criticized due to the further hardship it brought upon Nigerians.
Despite widespread criticism, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that Nigeria is on the verge of recovery, citing successes in security, financial discipline, and grassroots development.
Tinubu stated this during his first Presidential Media Chat, which was broadcast nationwide.
During his speech, Tinubu emphasized security improvements, claiming significant progress in making previously dangerous routes safe to travel.
“Two decades of wanton killings have been addressed. Today, you can travel the roads. Before now, it was impossible,” he said, adding that the military remains vigilant against both internal and external threats to ensure the safety of citizens.
On fiscal management, the President emphasized the administration’s efforts to abandon the former “ways and means” paradigm, claiming that the government now runs with financial control and budgetary discipline.
“We have more revenue being generated and distributed,” Tinubu noted.
